The International Religious Liberty Association (IRLA) was founded by Seventh-day Adventist Church leaders in 1893 to campaign for religious freedom for all. It is a non-sectarian and non-political organization. Its headquarters are in Silver Spring, Maryland in the United States.

The IRLA's mission statement says: "The International Religious Liberty Association will disseminate the principles of religious liberty throughout the world; defend and safeguard the civil right of all people to worship or not to worship, to adopt a religion or belief of their choice, to manifest their religious convictions in observance, promulgation, and teaching, subject only to the respect for the equivalent rights of others; support the right of religious organizations to operate freely in every country by their establishing and owning charitable or educational institutions; and organize local, regional, and national chapters as well as seminars, and congresses."
