The International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles, also known as FILA, is an International wrestling federation that holds events around the world.

FILA was founded in 1912 after discussions between the national wrestling federations of several countries determined the need to establish uniform guidelines for rules for the various international styles of wrestling.

FILA is governed by a governing bureau with input from national federations. The bureau is headed by a president.

The current president of FILA is Raphaël Martinetti, who has served in that role since 2002. Prior presidents include:

Einaar Raberg (Sweden) 1921 - 1924 Alfred Brüll (Hungary) 1924 - 1930 Viktor Smeds (Finland) 1930 - 1952 Roger Coulon (France) 1952 - 1971 Milan Ercegan (Yougoslavie) 1972 - 20021
