The Japanese Society of Public Health is a professional academic association established in Japan in 1947. With more than 8,000 members, it brings together people working to advance public health through research, education, and practice. The society supports professional collaboration across a broad range of fields, including infectious disease prevention, mental health, tobacco control, public health nursing, health systems, disaster response, and the health of older adults.

Its activities include an annual national conference, awards, committee work, and the publication of the Japanese Journal of Public Health. The journal shares original research, reports on public health practice, and other resources relevant to the field. The society also offers professional recognition programs and learning opportunities, including e-learning, and provides information and support for research and public health initiatives. Through monitoring reports, expert workshops, and collaboration with related organizations, it helps communicate evidence and encourage the development of public health practice in Japan and internationally.
