The International Naturist Federation (INF), also known as and , is the global umbrella organisation representing official national naturist societies or associations.

Membership

The INF is composed of representatives from national naturist organisations, with federation rules allowing only one national society per country to hold membership. To work around this rule, the French and English-speaking Canadian societies formed a partnership to participate in the INF.

Some national federations have independent youth organisations that are not directly affiliated with the INF. At the European level, youth representatives (European Naturist Youth – ENY, a committee of the INF mandated to promote naturism among Europeans aged 14 to 27) have elected a Youth Committee to liaise with the INF and its subcommittee, the European Naturist Commission (EuNat). Its role is to coordinate events and promote communication and exchange among young naturists.

INF rules allow individuals to obtain direct membership if no affiliated national naturist organisation exists in their country of residence.
