National Association of Professional Base Ball Players

National Association of Professional Base Ball Players (NAPBBP) (Nacionalno udruženje profesionalnih igrača bejzbola) ili, skraćeno, National Association (NA) (Nacionalno udruženje) je američka profesionalna bejzbol organizacija koja je djelovala od 1871. do 1875. godine. Nastala je raspadom dotadašnje National Association of Base Ball Players (NABBP) na profesionalne klubove - koji su se udružili u NA - i amaterske klubove koji su kraće vrijeme djelovali kroz organizaciju National Association of Amateur Base Ball Players. NA je važna za historiju bejzbola zbog toga što je predstavljala prvu profesionalnu bejzbol ligu. Godine 1876. mnogi njeni klubovi su stvorili National League, koji dan danas postoji u okviru Major League Baseballa.
