The National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap, French: Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives) is a French public administrative establishment dedicated to archaeological research, created under the law of January 17, 2001, concerning preventive archaeology. It replaced the Association for National Archaeological Excavations (AFAN), a 1901 law association.

Inrap operates under the joint supervision of the French Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
