The International Peace Institute (IPI) formerly International Peace Academy is an independent, international institution dedicated to promoting the prevention and settlement of armed conflict between and within states through policy research and development.

Known as the International Peace Academy until early 2008, the International Peace Institute was founded by a group of individuals both from within and outside of the United Nations who believed that a thoroughly independent institution, free from official constraints, could make a unique contribution to multilateral efforts to prevent and settle armed conflicts around the world. The International Peace Institute (IPI) is an independent, non-profit institution working in close association with the United Nations.
