Pacific Yearly Meeting is an FGC-affiliated yearly meeting of the Religious Society of Friends or Quakers.
It gathered for the first time in Palo Alto, California, during the summer of 1947 with twelve member Monthly Meetings.

In 1973 British Columbia withdrew from PYM to align with Canadian Yearly Meeting.
