The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is an American labor union founded in 1916 which represents public and private sector teachers and paraprofessionals in preK-12 education, higher education faculty and paraprofessionals, public employees and health care workers. It is affiliated with the AFL-CIO.

The AFT is the second-largest of education labor union in the United States, representing 1.3 million members. Unlike the 2.7-million member National Education Association, the AFT has since its founding been affiliated with the AFL-CIO. A proposed 1998 merger between the two was rejected by the NEA's annual meeting.

In general, AFT locals tend to be in large cities and on the East Coast, while the NEA's membership is more concentrated in rural and suburban areas and in the West. Another significant difference between the two organizations is that the AFT has made a serious effort to organize workers outside the field of preK-12 public education. The union currently represents nurses working in private-sector hospitals, state public employees, school nurses, school librarians, and educational paraprofessionals, such as bus drivers and cafeteria workers, for example.
