The Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM, /ˌsˌim/ sy-eem) is the professional body which represents and supports ecologists and environmental managers, mainly in the United Kingdom but increasingly in Ireland and Europe, and the rest of the world.

Established in 1991, CIEEM now has over 5,000 members drawn from local authorities, government agencies, industry, environmental consultancy, teaching/research, and NGOs. Formerly known as IEEM, CIEEM attained a royal charter in 2013, being recognised for its high level of professionalism. The Inaugural President from 1991–94 was the ecologist Tony Bradshaw, FRS.
