Ein Anarchist FAQ "ist ein Online geschriebes Archiv mit "häufig zum Anarchismus gestellten Fragen [und Antworten]" (Frequently asked Questions/FAQ) in englischer Sprache von einer internationalen Arbeitsgruppe von Anarchisten. Es dokumentiert anarchistische Theorie und Ideen und präsentieren gleichzeitig Argumente zu Gunsten des Anarchismus. Darüber hinaus versucht es Argumenten gegen den Anarchismus eine theoretisch fundierte Antwort gegenüber zustellen. Zuerst wurde vorallem versucht dem sogennanten "Anarcho-Kapitalismus", der in den USA das Wort Anarchismus mißbrauchte eine konsistente Kritik entgegenzusetzen. Heute wird vorallem versucht dazustellen was Anarchismus ist und warum Menschen Anarchist-Innen werden sollten. Zudem soll die Anarchist FAQ eine Quelle für Anarchist-Innen sein, eine Unterstützung bei ihren Aktivitäten und Aktionen um Fakten und Argumente gegen die Gegner des Anarchismus zu liefern.

Die FAQ ist unter den Bedingungen der GNU Free Documentation License (Copyleft) entstanden, und es ist gewidmet, " den Millionen von Anarchisten, die Lebend oder Tod, versucht haben, oder versuchen, eine bessere Welt schaffen." Es wurde offiziell freigegeben am 19. Juli 1996 "zur Feier der spanischen Revolution von 1936 und dem Kampf der anarchistischen Bewegung". Die neueste Version 14.0 der Anarchist FAQ ist vom 08-MAR-2010.
