L'Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) est une proposition d'amendement de la Constitution des États-Unis, déposé dans les années 1920, qui visait à garantir que l'égalité des droits entre les sexes ne pouvait être remise en cause par aucune législation fédérale, étatique ou locale. L'ERA ne fut cependant jamais ratifié bien qu'il ait été à nouveau déposé à chaque nouvelle législature du Congrès depuis 1982.
