The Audio Publishers Association (APA) is a not-for-profit trade association that advocates the common, collective business interests of audio publishers. The APA consists of audio publishing companies and allied suppliers, distributors, and retailers of spoken word products and allied fields related to the production, distribution, and sale of audiobooks.

Formed in 1987 the APA was created to:

• Advocate high production value and advise on industry-specific technical standards;
• Serve as a networking, educational, and information forum for its members;
• Deliver programs and services that serve the common business interests for its members; and
• Promote policies and activities that accelerate audiobook industry growth.
