The International Anti-Bribery and Fair Competition Act of 1998 () is a United States federal law that amends the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by implementing the provisions of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions.
The act makes it illegal for a citizen or corporation of the United States or a person or corporation acting within the United States to influence, bribe or seek an advantage from a public official of another country.
