德国法兰克福国际图书展览会(Frankfurt Book Fair,Buchmesse)是德国最大的国际性图书展览会，也是世界上最大规模、最享盛誉的书展，被誉为“世界出版人的奥运会”。该展由德国书商及出版商协会的子公司法兰克福书展会展公司(AuM)负责筹办，Abooks.de主办，从1949年开始，一年一届，在法兰克福国际展览中心举行。该展为来自世界各国的出版商、代理商以及图书馆人员提供一个洽谈版权交易、出版业务及展书订书的场所。
法兰克福书展1949年由德国书业协会创办，每年10月第一个星期三至第二个星期一在法兰克福举行，为期6天。其展览宗旨是：允许世界上任何出版公司展出任何图书。
BUCHMESSE书展的主要功能是推进版权贸易。数据显示，在书展上达成的版权交易占世界全年版权交易总量的75%以上，一方面是出版机构的版权负责人前来洽谈、购买国外版或翻译版版权，另一方面是大批文学代理人寻找海外出版公司。此外，在每届书展正式开展前一天的下午2点，都会举办“国际版权经理大会”，以深入探讨版权贸易中的有关问题。该展每年会有100多个国家、7000多家出版商和书商、30多万个新品种参加法兰克福书展。该书展已成为世界最大和最重要的图书贸易中心，是世界书业界的盛会，也被誉为“世界文化风向标”。
