The Islamic Society of Engineers (Jame'e-ye Eslaami-e Mohandesin, جامعهٔ اسلامی مهندسین), ISE, is a political organization in Iran, a member of the conservative alliance.

The Society was formed at the end of the Iran-Iraq War (1988) with the objective of "elevating the Islamic, political, scientific and technical knowledge of the Muslim people of Iran, defending major freedoms such as freedom of expression and gatherings, as well as continued campaign against foreign cultural agents whether Eastern or Western materialism."

Famous members of the society include Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the sixth President of Iran, Mohammad Reza Bahonar, Secretary General of the society and the first Deputy Speaker of Majls, and Morteza Nabavi, Deputy Secretary General of the society and a member of Expediency Discernment Council.

While President Ahmadinejad is a member of the society, the society did not support him for the Iranian presidential election of 2005 which led to Ahmadinejad's election in the second round, but supported Ali Larijani instead.
