Possible (Italian: Possibile, Pos) is a left-wing political party in Italy, launched in Rome on 21 June 2015.[1] The party's founder is Giuseppe Civati, a former prominent member of the Democratic Party (PD). Possible's progressive platform is a mixture of social democracy, democratic socialism, green politics, liberalism and elements of participatory democracy.

Possible's logo, including an equals sign, refers to a fundamental issue for the party, equality, inflected in multiple fields such as the economy, conflict of interest, separation of powers, anti-sexism, LGBTI+ rights, and immigration.[9] In late 2017, the party was a founding member of Free and Equal, a left-wing joint list for the 2018 general election, while it is currently part of the Greens and Left Alliance for the 2022 general election.
