The Israel Policy Forum is an American Jewish organization that works for a negotiated two-state outcome to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict through advocacy, education and policy research. The organization appeals to American policymakers in support of this goal and writes opinion pieces that have appeared in many Jewish and non-Jewish newspapers. The organization was founded in 1993.

Israel Policy Forum is chaired by David A. Sherman and its CEO is David A. Halperin.

The stated mission of Israel Policy Forum is to shape the discourse and mobilize support among American Jewish leaders and U.S. policymakers for the realization of a viable two-state outcome. Israel Policy Forum believes that a two-state outcome to the conflict will "safeguard Israel’s security and future as a Jewish and democratic state."

IPF has been described as center-left.

The Israel Policy Forum (IPF) was launched in 1993 at the encouragement of then-Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin as a think tank and advocacy group to support the Israeli–Palestinian peace process. Rabin was frustrated with AIPAC's slow embrace of the Oslo peace process. IPF's first public activity was an op-ed in the New York Times on September 13, 1993, which supported the signing of the Oslo Accords. The op-ed was published on the same day that Rabin and PLO chair Yasser Arafat signed the agreement at the White House.

In the years after its founding, IPF developed close ties with the Clinton administration and served as a base of influential American Jewish support for the peace process. President Clinton outlined his template for a Permanent Status Agreement, known as the Clinton Parameters, at IPF's annual gala in January 2001. IPF was associated with influential policymakers and scholars, such as Clinton's National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, professor Stephen P. Cohen, and fundraisers Marvin Lender, and Alan Solomont. IPF's Israel associates were connected with the country's security establishment, which gave heft to IPF's emphasis of negotiations and a two-state solution.

In 2005, Israel Policy Forum mobilized 27 major Jewish organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, B’nai B’rith, Hadassah, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, and both the Reform and Conservative movements to sign on to a New York Times ad supporting disengagement from Gaza as a step toward two states. They managed this at a time when the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations was reluctant to do so. In the wake of the violence of the Second Intifada, Israel Policy Forum garnered broad support for the Gaza disengagement plan as a step toward renewed Israeli–Palestinian negotiations and hosted Vice Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for a landmark speech that signaled his forthcoming political transformation. Israel Policy Forum subsequently delivered policy recommendations endorsed by top diplomats to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in support of the Arab Peace Initiative and the Annapolis international peace conference.

IPF declined in prominence during the later years of the Bush Administration, as renewed peace talks never gained momentum and the dialogue in the American policy community, especially among American Jews, grew fractious. By January 1, 2010, IPF merged with Middle East Progress, a project of the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, and its Washington office closed. IPF did not have close connections with Bush Administration, and other groups advocating for U.S. involvement in the peace process, such as J Street, had become more prominent.
