Agir ([aˈʒiɾ], lit. 'Act') is a political party in Brazil, established in 1985. It was founded as the Youth Party (Portuguese: Partido da Juventude; PJ), and was renamed the National Reconstruction Party (Portuguese: Partido da Reconstrução Nacional, PRN) in 1989, and the Christian Labor Party (Portuguese: Partido Trabalhista Cristão, PTC) in 2000. The party was renamed Agir in 2021, a change ratified by the Superior Electoral Court the following year.

As the National Reconstruction Party, it had the first president chosen through direct elections after the end of Brazil's military dictatorship, Fernando Collor de Mello, who suffered an impeachment process in 1992. In 2023, after renaming to Agir, the party ideologically restructured itself to focus on promoting the rights and well-being of autistic people.[14]
