List of Indigenous rights organizations

This is a list of indigenous rights organizations. Some of these organizations are members of other organizations listed in this article.

These organizations are not limited to a specific area or with specific Indigenous Peoples. They are listed by country of origin. The organizations in the "Regional" section are listed by the area in which they work. The regions and countries in this part of the list indicate the area in which these organizations operate.
