The Republican Coalition (Spanish: Coalición Republicana), previously known as the Multicolor Coalition (Spanish: Coalición Multicolor), is a big tent[5] political coalition formed in Uruguay in 2019.

It is led by the Uruguayan president Luis Lacalle Pou[6] and is composed of Lacalle's centre-right National Party (PN), the centrist Colorado Party (PC), the far-right Open Cabildo (CA), the centrist Independent Party (PI), and the right-wing Party of the People (PG).[7][8]

This alliance competed in the 2019 general elections against the Broad Front (FA). The Luis Lacalle Pou-Beatriz Argimón ticket was elected President of the Republic and Vice President respectively.[9]
