The Center for Public Integrity (CPI) was an American nonprofit investigative journalism organization. CPI's stated mission was "to counter the corrosive effects of inequality by holding powerful interests accountable and equipping the public with knowledge to drive change." It won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting, and in 2023, the Edward R. Murrow Award for General Excellence.

Mass layoffs in 2024 saw almost the entirety of CPI's workforce dismissed. In March 2025, CPI announced that it had officially ceased operations and was seeking to turn its archives over to the Project on Government Oversight.
