A Nemzetközi Visegrádi Alap egy nemzetközi donor szervezet, amelyet a Visegrádi Csoport (V4) országainak – Csehország, Magyarország, Lengyelország és Szlovákia – kormányai hoztak létre.

Az alap támogatja a civil társadalom fejlődését közös pályázati projektek finanszírozásával, valamint egyetemi ösztöndíjak és művészeti rezidenciák odaítélésével. Az alap éves költségvetése 10 millió euró, amelyet a V4 országok kormányai egyenlő arányban biztosítanak.
