  Folia Primatologica is an international peer-reviewed journal focusing on primatology, the study of monkeys, apes, lemurs, and other primates. Folia Primatologica was founded in 1963 by Adolph Hans Schultz, Helmut Hofer, Josef Biegert, and Dietrich Starck. Its start was preceded by two series of primatological monographs, both edited by the aforementioned founders, Primatologia (Handbook of Primatology), published in 1956, and Bibliotheca Primatologica, published in 1962.

Folia Primatologica is published six times per year. As of 2015 the editors-in-chief are K. A. I. Nekaris of Oxford Brookes University and Christophe Soligo of University College London.
