The Greens (VerdiGrüneVërc) are a green (with eco-socialist[1] and self-proclaimed social-democratic[2] tendencies) political party active in South Tyrol, northern Italy. Once the provincial section of the Federation of the Greens, the party is now autonomous and often forms different alliances at the country-level, but both joined Green Europe, a coalition of green parties for the 2019 European Parliament election, and the Greens and Left Alliance, a coalition with Italian Left for the 2022 general election.

The Greens are inter-ethnic and strive to improve relations between the three language groups of the Province: Italian-, German- and Ladin-speakers. Since 2024, the party's spokespersons have been Luca Bertolini and Elide Mussner.[3]
