The Confédération internationale des étudiants (International Confederation of Students) was an international student organization that existed from 1919 to 1940. It was founded at the Strasbourg Congress of the Union nationale des étudiants de France (National Union of Students of France), and brought together representatives of national unions of students from different countries. The organization ran the World University Games. It also promoted student travel and worked with the League of Nations to advance students' interests.
