Autoridad Nasionala del Ladino ([autoɾiˈdad nasjoˈnala del laˈdino], "National Authority of Ladino") is a national Israeli organization created in 1997 with the goal of preserving and safeguarding Judeo-Spanish, commonly known as Ladino.

The authority was established in the wake of a law passed by the Knesset on March 3, 1996. It publishes the Ladino magazine Aki Yerushalayim for the Sephardi Jewish community in Israel and the diaspora. The first chairman of the board was the fifth president of the State of Israel, Yitzhak Navon. The vice-president and editor-in-chief of Aki Yerushalayim is Moshe Shaul.
