The Noël Coward Society is an international society founded with the agreement of Cowards literary agent and Estate to celebrate the life and work of Sir Noël Coward.

The Noël Coward Society was founded in 1999 and is the only official international body which aims to study and promote, enjoy and celebrate the myriad aspects of Cowards achievements as a playwright, composer, librettist, theatre and film director, actor, novelist, short story writer, poet, cabaret artist and wit. It owns an extensive archive of recordings and written works and is attempting to become the official on-line archive of all things "Coward".

The US Director of The Noel Coward Society is Ken Starrett and, since 2002, he has successfully recruited over 300 members to join the organization through his frequent screenings of Coward's television and film work at The Paley Center For Media (formerly The Museum Of Television & Radio) in New York City. Since 2003, Starrett has also organized the annual birthday celebration in December, which includes the flower laying ceremony at The Gershwin Theatre in Manhattan, as well as a special luncheon honoring "The Master". Among the celebrities who have placed flowers in front of Coward's statue are Tammy Grimes
