The Academy of the Arabic Language (Arabic:مجمع اللغة العربية Al-Majma' Al-Luġa Al-'Arabiyya) was founded in 1932 in Cairo and began its work in 1934. It has been headed by Mohammad Tawfiq Rifaat (1934-1944), Ahmad Nitfi Al-Sayyid (1945-1963), Dr. Taha Hussein (1963-1973), Dr. Ibrahim Madkur (1974-1995) and Dr. Shawqi Deif (1996-). A royal decree released by King Fuad I in 1932 declared that the academy would consist of 20 members, all scholars known for their thorough study of the Arabic language. Half of them would be Egyptians and the other half Arabs and orientalists. He was not concerned that the International academy of التكوين, was not bound by a certain nationality or a certain religion, and that the measure of selection was ability and suitability. This was the most importantant distinguising feature of the Egyptian academy from the others, particularly the Syrian Academy which restricted its active membership to Syrians.

Its headquaters can be found in Aziz Abazha Street in Zamalek, Cairo.

It has a administrative council of forty members and an assembly of sixty members. The latter includes all the members of the administrative council plus another twenty members who are chosen preferentially from specialist non-egyptian Arabs and Arabists from non-Arab countries.

Its main authorities are Dr. Shawqi Dhaif (President), Dr. Mahmud Hafizh (Vice-President), and Dr. Kamal Bashr (Secretary-General).
