The Society of Advocates in Aberdeen is professional body of legal practitioners based in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland, and its surrounding area.

Prior to a change in rules, and ultimately the establishment of the Law Society of Scotland, the Society was responsible for the training, examination, authorisation and regulation of those engaged in legal practice in the North East of Scotland.

The Society is now a non-regulatory body which continues to provide facilities and services, such as a library and continuing professional development (CPD) training, along with social events for members. It has a similar role to the other law faculties in Scotland, such as the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet (WS Society) in Edinburgh and the Royal Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow.

The Society is based in Advocates Hall, located on Concert Court behind Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
