Lawyers for Climate Action NZ Inc (LCANZI, also known as LCANZ) is a climate advocacy group that has been active since 2019. A non-profit, it includes over 300 lawyers, solicitors, and academics. LCANZI was created to encourage New Zealand to take more ambitious actions to meet its Paris Agreement commitments.

LCANZI has advocated for New Zealand's law and actions to be consistent with its stated commitments under the Paris Agreement, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and requirements under recent climate regulation such as the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act. Activities undertaken by the group have included climate change litigation, consultation, submissions, and pro-bono legal advice.
