The Copyright Licensing Agency is a not-for-profit organization in the book and periodical publishing sector, based in London, England. It is recognised by the UK government as the collective management organisation for published material, supporting knowledge sharing, protecting organizations, and championing the creative ecosystem. The agency distributes revenues back into the creative industries to ensure rights holders are fairly remunerated when their works are used.

Revenue is distributed to CLA's member organisations, which in turn pay royalties directly to copyright owners—authors via ALCS, publishers via PLS, and visual artists via DACS and PICSEL. The organization operates in a not-for-profit model aimed at supporting the broader ecosystem of creators and rights holders. In June 2026, CLA partnered with Copyrightpolska and signed its first bilateral agreement with Copyright Polska.
