La medalla commemorativa Veitch és un premi internacional publicat anualment per la Reial Societat d'Horticultura.
Objectiu El premi es concedeix a "persones de qualsevol nacionalitat que han fet una contribució destacada a l'avanç i la millora de la ciència i la pràctica de l'horticultura".
Història El premi es va planejar per primera vegada el 1870, en memòria de James Veitch de Chelsea. Al principi, el premi va ser emès pel Veitch Memorial Trust i guardonat en espectacles d'horticultura locals, però a partir de 1885 les medalles van ser atorgades a la conferència d'orquídies. Des de 1922, la Societat Hortícola Reial (RHS), que ha tingut més de la confiança, ha atorgat la medalla. El 2010 es van presentar més de 500 medalles.
