The Modern Revolutionary Party (Template:Lang-es) is a social-democratic political party in the Dominican Republic. It emerged after a new division within the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD).[6] It was recognized on 9 September 2014.[5] The PRM is the legal heir of the Dominican Social Alliance.

The PRM directive has announced that it will lead a coalition made up of more than 10 parties for the 2016 general election.
