Action for the Republic (Catalan: Acció per la República, AxR) is a Catalan nationalist and progressive political party in Catalonia, founded by independent deputies of the Parliament of Catalonia grouped into the Together for the Republic (Catalan: Junts per la República, JuntsxRep) internal current within the Together for Catalonia (JxCat) alliance. The party defines itself ideologically as independentist, republican, ecologist, feminist and progressive, and has the Dutch Democrats 66 party as its ideological referent. It advocates for a "broad republican and patriotic front" together with other pro-independence parties while supporting "a policy of rupture".[1][2]

Notable party members include former Catalan minister and city councillor in Barcelona Ferran Mascarell and historian Agustí Colomines.[2]
