The U.S.-China Peoples Friendship Association (USCPFA) is a educational organization. Their goal is to develop and strengthen friendship and understanding between the peoples of the United States and China.

USCPFA was founded as a national organization in 1974, working on people-to-people diplomacy between Americans and Chinese. Nearly 35 chapters in four regions spanning the United States comprise the organization. National policies are established by the membership, which meets biennially at a national convention. A national board of directors implements national policy and meets twice each year.
