The Nation of Islam (NOI) is a religious and political organization founded in the United States by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930. A black nationalist organization, the NOI focuses its attention on the African diaspora, especially on African Americans.

Scholars of religion characterize it as a new religious movement. It operates as a centralized and hierarchical organization.
