An astroturf group is a special interest group, presented as representing the general public, which is widely believed to be funded by corporations seeking to influence government policy for reasons of vested interests. The name, a reference to the artificial grasslike surface Astroturf used in sporting contests, is a pun on the use of the term grassroots to refer to organisations representing ordinary people.
