Akhil Bharatiya Adhivakta Parishad (ABAP; English: All India Lawyers' Council) is a national organisation of lawyers in India. It has been described by scholars and media sources as affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organisation, and is often referred to as the RSS's legal wing or legal front.
According to the organisation, ABAP advocates reforms in the Indian judicial system and promotes legal perspectives rooted in Indian cultural, civilisational, and philosophical traditions.
