The American Vampire League is an organization mainly focused on the public relations of the vampire community in the United States and the promotion of vampire rights. First appearing on the HBO original series True Blood, the American Vampire League serves as the public face of the vampire community and follows the agenda of The Authority. It also holds ties to the ancient political organization of vampires, such as Sheriffs and Magisters.

Its spokeswoman was formerly Nan Flanagan, before she was assassinated (while already on the Authority's blacklist). Its new spokesman, Reverend Steve Newlin, frequently appears on television interviews opposite anti-vampire advocates. While Nan was still doing the job, these anti-vampire advocates included the late Reverend Theodore Newlin and Steve Newlin himself.

The AVL is also the main supporter of the Vampire Rights Amendment that aims to give vampires equal rights to those of humans.

The AVL has a SWAT Team known as V-Feds. ("Everything Is Broken")
