The American Eugenics Party (AEP) was a right-wing organization that used eugenics and scientific racism to justify its beliefs and political platform. Founded in Los Angeles, California in the 1960s, AEP meetings were held in Long Beach and Santa Barbara. Members of the party included Samuel Andrisani, primary spokesperson and Education Manager; John S. Vanders, public relations manager; and Robert Henderon, chairman of the race relations committee.

Tenets of the AEP's platform included the importance of racial purity, anti-immigration legislation, the intention to unite all "Caucasian stocks" to fight against the "non-Caucasian genetic threat", limiting government positions to those who pass an AEP test, "incentive economics", limited roles for women, neutrality on the concept of God, access to education based on "hereditary mental ability", limiting media on "dysgenic acts", removing "white defectives" (white people who are not eugenicists) from political positions, eliminating violence-type sports such as boxing, enacting anti-vice laws, enacting environmental legislation, and ensuring only "eugenic marriages" (marriages in which the couple are matched in terms of race, intellect, etc.).
