The American Federation of Actors (AFA) was an early actors union in the United States. It was supported by Sophie Tucker who was elected as the union's president in 1938. In 1939, the AFA was disbanded by the American Federation of Labor for financial mismanagement. The AFL subsequently issued a charter to the succeeding American Guild of Variety Artists, with some AFA members joining the Actors' Equity Association.
