The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) is an organization created in 1920 by World War I veterans for disabled military veterans of the United States Armed Forces that helps them and their families through various means. It was issued a federal charter by Congress in 1932. It currently has over 1 million members.

As a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, it is outside the purview of – and therefore not rated by – Charity Navigator. DAV's Employer Identification Number (EIN) is 31–0263158. (However, the related DAV Service Trust is a 501(c)(3) charity and is rated by Charity Navigator.) In 2024, Disabled American Veterans claimed total revenue of $176,450,766 and total assets of $654,659,108. The separate Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary (EIN 84-0505501) claimed total 2024 assets of $20,114,517 and total revenue of $1,074,763.
