The Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute (MCLI) is a Berkeley, California-based non-profit think-tank, activism incubator, library and archive. Named for Alexander Meiklejohn, a philosopher, university administrator, and free-speech advocate, MCLI was founded in 1965.[1]

The Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute carries on a wide range of activities, including research, publication, advocacy, and education. Its quarterly newsletter was entitled Human Rights Now![2] The Institute's collection was later made available to the public through the Bancroft Library of the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Michigan's Labadie Collection,[3] and San Francisco State University's Labor Archive.[1]

The founding executive director of MCLI is attorney-scholar-educator-activist Ann Fagan Ginger.[4] In 2018, Steven DeCaprio became Interim Executive Director.[5]
