Solidaridad Internacional Antifascista (English: International Antifascist Solidarity), SIA, was a humanitarian organisation that existed in the Second Spanish Republic. It was politically aligned with the anarcho-syndicalist movement composed of the CNT, FAI and other groups. One of its general secretaries was Lucía Sánchez Saornil, an anarcha-feminist activist.[1]

It engaged in publicity and fundraising in an attempt to assist the refugee-packed Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War.[2] It collaborated with the Mujeres Libres organisation to provide assistance to refugees and wounded soldiers.[3]
