The Disability Rights Commission (DRC) is an independent body set up by the British Parliament to end discrimination against disabled people. The passing of the Equality Act 2006 means that in October 2007 the DRC will be replace by a new Commission for Equality and Human Rights with powers across all equality law (race, sex, disability, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age).

The DRC is sponsored as an Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) by the Department for Work and Pensions.

The actress and public speaker Julie Fernandez is a well known supporter of the DRC.
