The Sadrist Movement (Arabic: التيار الصدري al-Tayyār al-Sadrī) is an Iraqi Shi'a Islamic national movement and political party, led by Muqtada al-Sadr.

The Sadrist Movement ended as largest political party in the October 2021 Iraqi parliamentary election, with 73 seats in Parliament, but in June 2022, during the 2021–2022 Iraqi political crisis, Muqtada al-Sadr’s bloc resigned from parliament.[3]
