The Conférence Olivaint is a French youth association, recognised as being of general interest.

Founded in fall 1874, it is the oldest student association in France. Its mission is to provide young people with training in public life, notably by holding weekly conferences with political figures and, since 2003, with personalities from civil, economic and cultural spheres.

The Conférence Olivaint model has been adopted in Belgium, where there is a Belgian Conférence Olivaint since 1954.
