La Medalla linneana, en anglès: Linnean Medal, (més exactament la medalla d'or) s'atorga per la Linnean Society of London des de 1888. Recompensava en anys alterns un botànic i un zoòleg. Des de 1958, recompensa el mateix any els dos especialistes. Fins a l'any 1976 era d'or d'on li ve el seu antic nom de “Medalla d'or de la Societat linneana”.
