Disability Rights Oregon is a nonprofit law organization based in Portland, Oregon. Since 1977, it has served as Oregon's officially designated Protection and Advocacy System, aiming to improve systems, policies, and practices to help more people with disabilities reach their full potential.

The organization empowers individuals with information and tools to uphold civil rights and provides limited legal advice and representation. It operates under a federally granted, independent monitoring authority that allows it to assess conditions in places such as jails, prisons, and hospitals to safeguard the human rights of people with disabilities. In 2019, Disability Rights Oregon partnered with A Better Childhood, Inc. to file a class action against Oregon's Department of Human Services, illustrating its collaborative advocacy work.
