American League of Professional Baseball Clubs, tai yksinkertaisesti American League (AL), on toinen kahdesta liigasta, jotka muodostavat Major League Baseballin Yhdysvalloissa ja Kanadassa. Se kehittyi Western leaguesta, suurten järvien alueella toimineesta ns. minor leaguesta, ja sai lopulta Major League aseman. Liigaa kutsutaan usein lempinimellä Junior Circuit, koska se nostettiin Major League asemaan vuonna 1901, 25 vuotta National Leaguen (Senior Circuit) muodostamisen jälkeen. American Leaguen mestari pelaa World Series -sarjan National Leaguen mestaria vastaan kauden päätteeksi. Vuoden 2019 jälkeen American League joukkueet ovat voittaneet 66 World Seriesiä kaikkiaan 115:stä vuodesta 1903, ja 27 näistä on ottanut New York Yankees. Yankees on voittanut 40 American Leaguen mestaruutta, eniten liigan historiassa, jonka jälkeen tulevat Oakland Athletics (15) ja Boston Red Sox (14). Liigan hallitseva mestari on Houston Astros, joka voitti kaudella 2019, hävite kuitenkin World Seriesin.
