American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers

American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP ) adalah sebuah organisasi hak pentas (performance-rights organization, PRO) nirlaba Amerika yang melindungi hak cipta musikal para anggotanya dengan memantau pentas publik dari musik mereka, entah melalui penyiaran atau penampilan langsung, dan mengkompensasi mereka.

Di Amerika Serikat, ASCAP bersaing dengan empat PRO lainnya — Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), Society of European Stage Authors and Composers (SESAC), & Pro Music Rights, LLC. (Pro Music Rights)
