Agir (French for Act), officially named Agir, la droite constructive (Act, the Constructive Right), is a political party in France, established on 26 November 2017.[4] The majority of its founding members were previously associated with the Constructive faction within the centre-right The Republicans party. Styling itself as a "liberal, social, European, humanist and reformist"[5] party, Agir was founded by a group of 19 established politicians as an alternative to The Republicans. Agir members of parliament are members of the Agir ensemble parliamentary group in the National Assembly.

Fabienne Keller is currently the party's only MEP.
