The American Arbitration Association (AAA) is one of several arbitration organizations that administers arbitration of disputes brought to it by members of the public. The AAA also administers mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Many contracts include an arbitration clause naming the AAA as the organization that will administer an arbitration between the parties.

The arbitrators are chosen in accordance with the parties' agreement or, if the parties do not agree otherwise, in accordance with the AAA rules.
