The Humanitarian Law Project (founded 1985) is a U.S.-based non-profit organization organization, working to protect human rights and promote "the peaceful resolution of conflict by using established international human rights laws and humanitarian law."

The organisation's mandate includes the long-term strengthening of human rights standards—particularly those ratified by nation-states—and to promote human rights dialogue between human rights activists, legal academics, members of the US Congress and their staffs, and other interested U.S. citizens.
