Athlete Ally is a nonprofit organization operating in the spectator sports sector with a focus on LGBTQI+ inclusion in athletics.

The group collaborates with teams and organizations to develop clear LGBTQ-inclusive policies and supports athlete activism through an Ambassador Program, providing platforms for athletes and sports entities to advocate for LGBTQ civil rights. Based in the United States, the organization engages with partnerships and events, including its annual Athlete Ally Summit and collaborations with leagues and brands, to advance its mission of eliminating homophobia and transphobia in sport and promoting leadership within the athletic community.
