Veterans for Peace is an American organization founded in 1985. Made up of male and female veterans of World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and other conflicts, as well as peacetime veterans, the stated objective of the group is as follows:

"We draw on our personal experiences and perspectives gained as veterans to raise public awareness of the true costs and consequences of militarism and war - and to seek peaceful, effective alternatives."

An official non-governmental organization (NGO) represented at the United Nations, Veterans for Peace is structured around a national office in Saint Louis, Missouri and composed of members across the country organized in chapters or as at-large members.
