Filipino American Educators Association, Inc. of Los Angeles (FAEALA or FAEA, Inc.) is a voluntary non-profit organization composed of retired and current educators. It is the Los Angeles affiliate of the statewide Filipino American Educators Association of California (FAEAC).

FAEALA was established in March 24, 1974 by Dr. Milagros R. Aquino Ruiz, Bibiana Ruiz and Helen Brown who gathered Filipino American teachers in a forum where they could address their personal and professional needs. In its early beginnings, FAEA served as the first destination for teachers who came to the United States for support, shelter and encouragement.

Later, FAEALA evolved into a professional organization dedicated to serving the community and its members. FAEALA continues to support newly arrived teachers from the Philippines, and Filipino American educators and other school district employees in the Los Angeles basin to promote and advocate for the rights, dignity and interest of its members.
