The People's Will Army (AVN; Russian: Армия воли народа; АВН; Armiya voli naroda, AVN) was a Russian public organization that advocated the adoption of legislative acts establishing the direct responsibility of the President and the Federal Assembly of Russia for their activities.

The founder, theorist and leader of the AVN was the publicist Yury Mukhin. One of the leaders of the AVN was a former member of the Politburo of the CPSU Oleg Shenin.

On October 19, 2010, the Moscow City Court recognized the activities of the People's Will Army as extremist and prohibited its further activities on the territory of Russia. After the AVN was recognized as an extremist organization, some of its members ceased their activities, and some moved to the Initiative Group for Conducting a Referendum “For Responsible Power”, previously created by the Interregional Public Movement “FOR RESPONSIBLE POWER”.
