The Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) is a conservative,[2][3] Washington, D.C.-based think tank and advocacy group. Founded in 1976, the group describes itself as "dedicated to applying the Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy", and advocacy of founding principles such as the rule of law.[4] The EPPC is active in a number of ways, including hosting lectures and conferences,[5] publishing written work[6] from the group’s scholars,[7] and running programs,[8] which are intended to explore areas of public concern and interest.

Since February 2021, EPPC's president is Ryan T. Anderson, who previously worked as the William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. He succeeded Edward Whelan,[9] who serves as EPPC's vice president,[10] and also holds the title of distinguished senior fellow and Antonin Scalia Chair in Constitutional Studies. Former president of EPPC from 1989 through June 1996, George Weigel, Catholic theologian and papal biographer, is also a distinguished senior fellow.[11] EPPC is a qualified 501(c)(3) organization.[12][13]
