The Men's League for Women's Suffrage was a society formed in 1910 by the left-wing writers Henry Brailsford, Max Eastman, Laurence Housman, Henry Nevinson and others to pursue women's suffrage in the United States of America. Organizations were established in specific states, including New York. By 1912, the organization was estimated to have 20,000 members nationwide.

The establishment of the organization came during a rise of similar organizations for men advocating women's suffrage. Eastman, a key leader in establishing the League in New York, also served as President of the Men's Equal Suffrage League in his state.

In the New York organization, the League was headed by a president, at least five vice presidents, a secretary, and a treasurer.

Prominent members, apart from the founders, included Rabbi Stephen Wise, R. B. Cunninghame Graham, Columbia professor, John Dewey and Oswald Garrison Villard, publisher of the New York Evening Post.
