The Atlanta Athletic Club, (AAC), founded in 1898, is a world-renowned private athletic club in Duluth, Georgia, a suburb 23 miles north of Atlanta, Georgia. The original home of the club was a 10-story building located on Carnegie Way, and in 1904 a golf course was built on Atlanta's East Lake property. In 1967 the AAC sold both properties and moved to an expansive site in Duluth, Georgia. The vacated East Lake site became East Lake Golf Club and was refurbished during the 1990s, and is now the home of THE TOUR Championship PGA golf tournament.

The AAC hosted the 1963 Ryder Cup at East Lake, the 1976 U.S. Open, the 1981 and 2001 PGA Championships on its Highlands Course, and the 1990 U.S. Women's Open on its Riverside Course. The Club will host its third PGA Championship on the newly-renovated Highlands course in 2011. Other non-golf events hosted by the AAC include the first two Southeastern Conference men's basketball tournaments in 1933 and 1934.

The AAC offers two 18-hole golf courses, a health center, indoor and outdoor tennis, a par-3 course, olympic-sized pool, as well as fine dining.

Famous members and former members of the AAC include golfers Bobby Jones (golfer), Charles R. Yates, Alexa Stirling, Mark Price, and Dan Reeves. In the 2004 film, Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius, the AAC was used to film many of the golf scenes.
