The World Social Forum (WSF) is an annual meeting held by members of the alternative globalization movement to coordinate world campaigns, share and refine organizing strategies, and inform each other about movements from around the world and their issues. It tends to meet in January when its "great capitalist rival", the World Economic Forum is meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

The WSF has prompted the organising of many regional social forums, including the European Social Forum, the Asian Social Forum and the Boston Social Forum. All social forums adhere to the WSF Charter of Principles drawn up by the World Social Forum.

In 2006 the WSF will be held simultaneously in different cities around the world, including Caracas, Venezuela; Bamako, Mali; and Karachi, Pakistan. In 2007 it will be held in Africa.
