Portugal Ahead (Portuguese: Portugal à Frente, PàF) is a centre-right political and electoral alliance in Portugal formed by the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and CDS – People's Party (CDS-PP).

The alliance was formed as the Portugal Alliance (Aliança Portugal) for the 2014 European Parliament election, in which the alliance won 27.7% of the popular vote and 7 of Portugal's 21 seats in the European Parliament, witting with the European People's Party Group.[1] The alliance was later extended for the 2015 legislative election under the name Portugal Ahead. In the legislative election on 5 October 2015, the PSD/CDS-PP list received 36.9% of the vote and returned 102 seats in the Assembly of the Republic, with the PSD electing 5 deputies on standalone lists in Madeira and Azores.[2]
