The Interstate Athletic Conference, also called the Interstate Intercollegiate Conference, was a college athletic conference that operated from 1911 to 1931 with member schools located in the states of Minnesota and North Dakota. The conference was formed on December 2, 1911, at a meeting held in Valley City, North Dakota. The six charter members were Concordia College of Moorhead, Minnesota, Ellendale Industrial Normal School (later known as North Dakota State Normal and Industrial School) of Ellendale, North Dakota, Mayville State Normal School (now known as Mayville State University) of Mayville, North Dakota, Moorhead State Normal School (now known as Minnesota State University Moorhead) of Moorhead, Valley City State Normal School (now known as Valley City State University) of Valley City, North Dakota, and Wahpeton State Science School (now known as North Dakota State College of Science) of Wahpeton, North Dakota.

The remaining members, all located in North Dakota, organized a new conference in November 1931, the North Dakota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NDIAC), which was later known as the North Dakota Intercollegiate Conference (NDIC) and ultimately as the North Dakota College Athletic Conference (NDCAC).
