The organization Quaker Peace and Social Witness (QPSW) is a Quaker organization in Great Britain that was founded in 1927 as the Friends Foreign Mission Association as a merger of the Friends Foreign Mission Association (1868-1927) and the Council for International Service (1919-1927). From 1979 it was called Quaker Peace and Service and since 2001 it has been operating under its current name.

The organization tries to coordinate peace work and other social tasks internationally. It is also a central committee of the Britain Yearly Meeting. 1947 the QPSW was shared with the American American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), representative of the tireless efforts of various organized and other Quakers, the Nobel Peace Prize awarded.
