Philatelic International (Filintern) was an international philatelic society of collector-workers. It was founded and based in the Soviet Union in the 1920s to 1940s.
The creation of the Filintern was set up at a conference in Moscow in 22 to 30 June 1924.

The Philatelic International's organ was the journal Esperanto: Radio de Filintern. It was an insert included in the monthly magazine Soviet Philatelist or Soviet Collector. Its Editor was a prominent Russian philatelist L. K. Eichfuss. The first issue of the journal appeared in January 1925.
