The Jenaer Philharmonie is a German symphony orchestra based in Jena, Germany. It was founded in 1934 with the intent to revive and continue the old traditions of the "Collegium musicum Jenense" and the academic concerts by the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena). In 1953 it became a symphonic orchestra and acquired its present-day status of philharmonic orchestra in 1969. It is the largest independent symphony orchestra in the central German state of Thuringia.

In April 2012, the orchestra appointed the American conductor Marc Tardue as its next GMD, effective September 2012.
The orchestra has made commercial recordings for such labels as Teldec and CPO, including music of Liszt and Wagner for the latter.
