The California African American Museum (CAAM) is a state-supported institution dedicated to researching, collecting, preserving, and interpreting the history, art, and culture of African Americans, with a focus on California and the western United States. Founded in 1977, CAAM emerged from a sustained campaign of activism by founders and community members and became the first African American museum of art, history, and culture to receive state backing. Its work is made accessible to the public through exhibitions, programs, and interpretive activities that illuminate Black experiences in the region.

Based in Los Angeles, California, the museum operates within the museum, historical sites, and zoos sector. It maintains a mid-sized staff and has undergone leadership changes in recent years, including Cameron Shaw's appointment as executive director in 2021.
