The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) is a United States non-governmental organization (NGO) that aims to promote human rights, democracy, and social and economic justice in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Washington Office on Latin America aims to facilitate dialogue between governmental and non-governmental actors, to monitor the impact of U.S. foreign policy on human rights, democracy and equitable development in Latin America, and to promote alternatives through reporting and advocacy. It reports on these activities in order to inform and educate policy-makers, religious and non-governmental organizations, and the general public about their impact.
