Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC) is an American organized labor group for pornographic actors. Launched in 2014, shortly after the closure of the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM), the organization released a video called Porn 101 containing advice for new and established pornographic performers. APAC operates a mentor scheme and maintains resources for people starting pornographic acting, as well as hosting panels, releasing statements and lobbying.

A founding member of the group, James Deen, resigned from his roles in 2015 after a series of sexual assault and rape allegations against him, involving actions both in his personal relationships and on-screen performing. The 2018 chair, Ginger Banks, resigned after her initial response to a scene in which her co-star raised concerns about the behaviour of John Stagliano caused backlash and harassment. Other performers with major roles in the organization have included Stoya, Nina Hartley, Chanel Preston and Tasha Reign.
