The Association of Old Crows is a nonprofit international professional organization specializing in electronic warfare, tactical information operations, and related topics. The organization's headquarters are located in Alexandria, Virginia.

The name "Old Crows" emerged from the first use of electronic warfare in World War II to disrupt enemy communications and radars. Allied equipment and operators were known by the code name "Raven". Common jargon changed the name to "Crows" and those engaged in the profession became known as "Old Crows".

The organization draws expertise and information from a pool of thousands of individuals, including technology specialists and actual military personnel. It is involved in advancing electronic warfare and information-gathering techniques, disseminating information on these topics, and supporting the education of personnel in related matters.
