The People's Movement for the State (Serbian: Народни покрет за државу, romanizedNarodni pokret za državu, abbr. NPZD), also referred to as the Movement for the People and the State (Serbian: Покрет за народ и државу, romanizedPokret za narod i državu, abbr. PZND), are the working names of the political movement in Serbia initiated by Aleksandar Vučić, the president of Serbia and then-president of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), in March 2023. Vučić defined it as a "supra-party movement" that would include political parties, such as SNS and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), and other political movements, associations, and individuals. He organised rallies to promote the movement in March and May 2023.

NPZD has not released its programme, despite it being announced in June 2023. Journalists and political scientists have, however, reported that it could take populist and centrist positions. Alongside Vučić's SNS, the Social Democratic Party of Serbia, Movement of Socialists, United Serbia, PUPS – Solidarity and Justice, Serbian Party Oathkeepers, and Greens of Serbia have expressed interest in joining the movement. Inside SPS, there have been voices supportive and opposing of the movement, though Ivica Dačić, the president of SPS, supports the party's inclusion in the movement. All the aforementioned parties, including SPS, contested the 2024 Belgrade City Assembly election as part of the Belgrade Tomorrow electoral list, in which they won 64 out of 110 seats in the City Assembly of Belgrade. Miloš Vučević, the president of SNS, said that with the creation of the electoral list, the movement was also officially realised.
