The National Iranian American Council (NIAC; Persian: شورای ملی ایرانیان آمریکا) is a lobbying group widely viewed as the de facto "Iran Lobby" in Washington, D.C., due to its history of lobbying for stances on behalf of, and aligned with, the Islamic Republic of Iran. NIAC Action PAC is its affiliated political action committee and was formed in 2015.

The organization's first president, Trita Parsi, is also the group's co-founder. As of 2018, the organization's president was Jamal Abdi.
