Data for Progress (DFP) is an American left-wing think tank, polling firm, and political advocacy group. Until his dismissal in November 2022, the organization was headed by data scientist and activist Sean McElwee, who co-founded the organization in 2018.[1]

Affiliated with the progressive movement, Data for Progress has released reports and conducted polling on policy matters such as proposals for a Green New Deal.[2] Following the election of Joe Biden as President of the United States, Data for Progress has been described as an influential force among progressives in the Democratic Party.[3]
