Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering (CASPIAN) is a USA grass-roots consumer group dedicated to fighting supermarket "loyalty" or frequent shopper cards. CASPIAN's efforts are directed at educating consumers, condemning marketing strategies that invade shoppers' privacy, and encouraging privacy-conscious shopping habits. CASPIAN also aspires to warn the public about the dangers of RFID tags, which CASPIAN refers to as "Spychips".

CASPIAN was founded in October 1999 by Katherine Albrecht.
