中国科学院昆明动物研究所(以下简称昆明动物所)直属于中国科学院,是中国生物多样性演化、保护与可持续利用领域的综合性研究机构。昆明动物所成立于1959年4月,其前身为昆虫研究所紫胶虫工作站,1962年改名为中国科学院西南动物研究所,1970年划归云南省后改名为云南省动物研究所,1978年重归中国科学院,恢复原所名。
昆明动物所设有生物多样性中心、进化发育中心、灵长类中心、资源利用中心4个研究中心。共计44个学科组。拥有遗传资源与进化国家重点实验室、中国科学院动物模型与人类疾病机理重点实验室、模式动物表型与遗传研究国家重大科技基础设施(灵长类设施)、国家昆明高等级生物安全灵长类动物实验中心(P3实验室)、国家非人灵长类实验动物资源库、中国西南野生生物种质资源库(动物种质资源分库)、天然活性多肽国家地方联合工程研究中心、中国科学院天然活性多肽工程实验室、中国科学院昆明野生动物细胞库、中国科学院生物多样性大型仪器区域中心(西南)、昆明动物标本库等国家或院级科研与技术平台,与香港中文大学联合共建生物资源与疾病分子机理联合实验室。拥有云南无量山西黑冠长臂猿监测站和云南大山包黑颈鹤监测站2个野外观测台站。与云南省合作共建昆明动物博物馆,馆藏各类动物标本90余万号,是我国西南地区规模最大、收藏量最丰富的动物专题博物馆,先后被授予“全国科普教育基地”、“云南省生态文明教育基地”等荣誉称号。

Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Kunming Institute of Zoology), directly under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is a comprehensive research institute in the field of biodiversity evolution, conservation and sustainable use in China. Kunming Institute of Zoology was founded in April 1959, formerly known as Lac Worm Workstation of Institute of Entomology. In 1962, it was renamed Southwest Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1970, it was renamed Yunnan Institute of Zoology, and in 1978 it was restored to Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Kunming Institute of Zoology has four research centers: Biodiversity Center, Evolutionary Development Center, Primate Center and Resource Utilization Center. A total of 44 subject groups. It has the State Key Laboratory of Genetic Resources and Evolution, the Key Laboratory of Animal Model and Human Disease Mechanism of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the State Key Science and Technology Infrastructure for Model Animal Phenotype and Genetics Research (Primate Facility), the National Kunming High Level BioSafety Primate Laboratory (P3 Laboratory), the National non-human Primate Laboratory Resource Bank, and Southwest China Wild Species National or institution-level scientific research and technology platforms, such as Quality Resource Bank (Animal Germplasm Resources Branch Bank), National and Local Joint Engineering Research Center for Natural Active Peptides, Engineering Laboratory of Natural Active Peptides, Kunming Wildlife Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Biodiversity Large Instrument Regional Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Southwest), Kunming Animal Specimen Bank, etc. Joint Laboratory of Biological Resources and Molecular Mechanism of Disease with the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It has two field observation stations: the Shanxi Black Gibbon Monitoring Station in Wuwang, Yunnan Province and the Black Neck Crane monitoring station in Dashanbao, Yunnan Province. Kunming Museum of Zoology has been jointly built with Yunnan Province. With a collection of more than 900,000 animal specimens, it is the largest and richest animal museum in Southwest China. It has been successively awarded the honorary titles of "National Science Popularization Education Base" and "Yunnan Ecological Civilization Education Base".
