The Hague Institute for Global Justice, often referred to as simply The Hague Institute or THIGJ, is an international think tank located in The Hague, Netherlands. Founded in 2011, its current president is Sohair Salam Saber, a Jordanian businesswoman and philanthropist who took up the role in 2019.

According to the Institute, its stated aims are "to shape discourse and bridge gaps between research, policy and practice on global issues at the critical intersection of peace, security and justice".

History
The Hague Institute was founded in 2011 by a consortium of partners including the Municipality of The Hague and an academic coalition of Hague-based organizations, with support from the Dutch government. Its stated aim was to "contribute to, and further strengthen, the global framework for preventing and resolving conflict and promoting international peace."

On 29 January 2019, Jordanian businesswoman and philanthropist Sohair Salam Saber was announced as the Institute's second president. Australian lawyer Mahmoud Abuwasel was announced as vice president.

On 27 January 2021, the University of Pennsylvania's Global Go To Think Tank Index Report named The Hague Institute in its lists for "Top Think Tanks in Western Europe", "Best Advocacy Campaigns", "Best Institutional Collaboration Think Tanks", "Best Transdisciplinary Research Think Tanks" and "Think Tanks with the Best External Relations/Public Engagement Programs" for 2020.

In June 2022, the Institute requested observer status with the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.
