Collegiate athletic conference
the defunct league that was also called the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) is a college athletic conference affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division II level. Formed in 1913, it consists mostly of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), with all but one member located in the Southern United States. The SIAC has led all NCAA Division II conferences in football attendance.

Only three charter members are still part of the conference—Clark Atlanta University (formerly Clark College), Tuskegee University, and Morehouse (which briefly left before returning). Before 2014, all members had been southern HBCUs, but four of the SIAC's five newest members include its only non HBCU, Spring Hill College (joined in 2014), and its only member outside the South, Central State University of Ohio (joined in 2015). Their last three recent members were former member schools in their first stints: Savannah State University returned to the SIAC in 2019 after a 19 year absence, Allen University returned to the SIAC in 2020 after a 51 year absence, and Edward Waters University returned to the SIAC in 2021 after a nearly 86 year absence. The U. S. Army's 24th Infantry Division teams competed as members of the SIAC from 1930 until 1935. On March 31, 2021, Paine College left the SIAC and the NCAA and joined the NCCAA.
