The Radical Movement (French: Mouvement radical, MR), whose complete name is Radical, Social and Liberal Movement (Mouvement radical, social et libéral) is a social-liberal political party in France.

The MR was founded on 10 December 2017 and merged the Radical Party and the Radical Party of the Left (PRG). The two parties had been divided from each other since the PRG split from the Radical Party in 1972.[2][3]
