The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (Pub. L. 90-202) (ADEA), prohibits employment discrimination against persons 40 years of age or older in the United States. It also sets standards for pensions and benefits provided by employers and requires that information about the needs of older workers be provided to the general public.

It was later amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (Pub. L. 101-433) and the Civil Rights Act of 1991 (P.L. 102-166).
