The Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel ( CSA ; German Higher Council for Audiovisual Media ) in France is an authority founded in 1989 whose task is to regulate various electronic media in France  - such as radio and television. The establishment of the CSA was a measure of the party program of the Socialist Party of France from 1981 entitled: 110 Ideas for France.

The CSA replaced the Commission nationale de la communication et des libertés (CNCL) , which in turn replaced the Haute Autorité de la communication audiovisuelle , which was set up in 1982 to oversee the distribution of radio frequencies to the private sector.

The CSA also has the power to fight copyright infringement in France. The civil rights organization La Quadrature du Net criticizes that this will turn the private sector into a copyright police.
