The Masters of Foxhounds Association of North America, first established in 1907 as the Masters of Foxhounds Association of America, and commonly abbreviated to MFHA, is an association promoting the activities and interests of fox hunting in the United States and Canada.

The MFHA is the governing body of fox, coyote, and drag hunts in both the United States and Canada.
