The Federal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI), more commonly known simply as Federal Intelligence (FI) , is a civilian foreign intelligence service of the United States federal government, tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT). As one of the principal members of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), the FBI reports to the United States Commissioner for Public Safety and is primarily focused on providing intelligence for the Governor-General and Cabinet.

Unlike the Federal Security Bureau (FSB), which is a domestic security service, the FBI has no law enforcement function and is mainly focused on overseas intelligence gathering, with only limited domestic intelligence collection in the Territories of the United States. Though it is not the only U.S. government agency specializing in HUMINT, the FBI serves as the All-Union manager for coordination of HUMINT activities across the US intelligence community. Moreover, the FBI is the only agency authorized by law to carry out and oversee covert action outside the Union at the behest of the Governor-General. It exerts foreign political influence through its tactical divisions, such as the Special Activities Division.

The FBI has increasingly expanded its role, including covert paramilitary operations. One of its largest divisions, the Information Operations Center (IOC), has shifted focus from counter-terrorism to offensive cyber-operations.
