The COVID-19 Advisory Board was announced in November 2020 by then President-elect of the United States Joe Biden as part of his presidential transition.

It is co-chaired by physicians David A. Kessler, Marcella Nunez-Smith, and Vivek Murthy and comprises 13 health experts.

The goal of the advisory board is to create ideas and rules on how to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States during Biden's transition period. The board was dissolved when Biden was inaugurated on January 20, 2021 and was replaced with the White House COVID-19 Response Team.
