The American Political Science Association (APSA) is an professional association of political science students and scholars in the United States. Founded in 1903, it publishes three academic journals (American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, and PS: Political Science & Politics). The Information Technology & Politics section also has an official journal, the Journal of Information Technology & Politics.

There are 35 organized sections of APSA organized around research themes. APSA presidents serve one-year terms; the current president is Peter Katzenstein of Cornell University. Woodrow Wilson, who later became president of the United States, was APSA president in 1911. APSA has its headquarters at 1527 New Hampshire Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., in a historic building that was the home of Harry Garfield, son of President James Garfield.

The APSA administers the Centennial Center for Political Science and Public Affairs, which provides conference and research space for scholars, and Pi Sigma Alpha, the honor society for political science students. APSA also periodically sponsors seminars and other events for political scientists, policymakers, the media, and the general public.

APSA presents several awards each year, including the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for the best book on government, politics, or international affairs, which is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation at Princeton University and includes a cash prize of $5,000.

The annual APSA meeting is among the world's largest gatherings of political scientists. It occurs on Labor Day weekend each summer. The 2007 meeting in Chicago drew 6,900 participants. Future annual meetings will be in Toronto (September 3-6, 2009), Washington, D.C. (September 2-5, 2010), San Francisco (August 31-September 4, 2011), and New Orleans (August 29-September 2, 2012).

A group of several dozen professors from the 7,000-member American Political Science Association contend that recent free speech precedents in Canada put academics at risk of prosecution. The group includes Robert George and Harvey Mansfield, and they have protested holding the scheduled 2009 APSA annual meeting in Canada for this reason[1]. The leadership of APSA selected Toronto as the meeting location.
