The Citizens League is a nonpartisan think tank based in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area of Minnesota. It was established in 1952 as a good government advocacy and policy group.

The first Citizens League board of directors was elected on February 14, 1952; the League's first president was Stuart Leck. Dues were $5.

In the past 53 years, the Citizens League has had only six executive directors. They were Ray Black (1952–1958), Verne Johnson (1958–1967), Ted Kolderie (1967–1980), Curt Johnson (1980–1991), Lyle Wray (1992–2003) and Sean Kershaw (2003–present).
