The Organic Consumers Association is a nonprofit public-interest organization based in Finland, Minnesota, focused on representing the views and interests of organic consumers in the United States. It positions itself as the only U.S. group dedicated exclusively to advocating for consumers of organically and socially responsible foods and products, pursuing its mission through education, advocacy, and grassroots lobbying to influence food and farming policy.

Its program areas include food safety, industrial agriculture, genetic engineering, children's health, corporate accountability, Fair Trade, and environmental sustainability, including pesticide use. The organization sustains a modest staff and carries out marketplace campaigns while reaching a broad audience through newsletters, social media, and various media outlets—an outreach that exceeds two million people and businesses. Its policy board is described as broadly representative of the organic, family-farm, environmental, and public-interest communities. In 2023, OCA appointed Ercilia Sahores as International Director.
