Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) (Sanskrit: अखिल भारतीय विद्यार्थी परिषद, All Indian Student Council) is a nationalist all India student organization affiliated to the nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). It is one of the largest student organizations internationally, with more than three million members.

the ABVP had 160,000 members across 790 campuses and had gained control over several prominent universities, including University of Delhi via student elections. By 1983, the organisation had 250,000 members and 1,100 branches. ABVP grew during the 1990s, receiving more support as a result of the Babri Masjid demolition and the economic liberalization pursued by the P. V. Narasimha Rao government. It continued to grow after the United Progressive Alliance came to power in 2004, trembling in membership to 3.175 million members as of 2016. It claims to be India's largest student organization.
