The AFL Players Association (AFLPA, also simply known as AFL Players) is the representative body for all current and past professional Australian Football League (AFL) and AFL Women's (AFLW) players.

The AFLPA promotes and protects its members through initiatives including workplace relations, advocacy, career development, and various community events.

Players' welfare is the primary function of AFLPA, and it aims to ensure the sustainability and integrity of the game by investing in the personal development of past, present, and future AFL footballers.

Established in its current form in 1974, the AFL Players Association provides a means for the AFL and Clubs to consult with players, lobby for players, and collaborate on rules and other issues affecting AFL players.

The current CEO of the AFLPA is Paul Marsh.
