Free Music Archive (FMA) is an online repository of royalty-free music established in 2009 by the East Orange, New Jersey community radio station WFMU, in cooperation with stations KBOO and KEXP. FMA offers free access to music under Creative Commons licenses, which can be freely downloaded and used in other works.

Its collection includes approximately 64,000 tracks. The platform was directed by WFMU, the most renowned freeform radio station in America, and was a collaboration between various curators and artists. FMA's initial funding came from the New York State Music Fund, the John D.

and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2018, FMA announced its shutdown but was later acquired by Tribe of Noise.

It operates as a resource for listeners, podcasters, producers, remix artists, and more, allowing users to explore and discover music from independent artists around the world.
