The Fundamental Baptist Fellowship Association (FBFA) is an association of independent fundamentalist African-American Baptist churches.It is based in Kansas City, Kansas.^[1]

The FBFA was formed in 1962^[2] when Reverends Richard C. Mattox and Robert Hunter, of Cleveland, Ohio, led conservative-fundamentalist black ministers and congregations to form the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship Association.^[3] The association meets annually and provides fundamentalist black Baptist churches a means of fellowship in the areas of evangelism and foreign missions. Each congregation is independent and autonomous.

A number of churches in the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship Association hold dual affiliation with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches. In the area of Christian education, the FBFA partners with Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio.^[4]

The FBFA is sometimes confused with the predominantly white Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International,^[2] whose strength is in the Southeast. The FBFA is predominantly black and most of its churches are located in the Midwestern states.
