Horizons (French pronunciation: [ɔʁizɔ̃]) is a centre-right[2] political party in France founded in October 2021 by Édouard Philippe, at the time mayor of Le Havre and ex-Prime Minister of France.

The party was created with the purpose of attracting centre-right support for Emmanuel Macron for the 2022 French presidential election.[5] Ahead of the 2022 legislative elections, it formed a coalition with two other centrist parties – Democratic Movement (MoDem) and La République En Marche! – to coordinate which candidates it presents.[6]
