The Hezbollah Movement in Iraq (Arabic: حركة حزب الله في العراق), also known as the Jihad and Construction Movement (Arabic: حركة الجهاد والبناء), is a Shi'a Islamist Iraqi political party that is part of the United Iraqi Alliance coalition. It is not affiliated with the Lebanese group Hezbollah or other groups using the name. Hezbollah or Hizb Allah (Arabic: حزب الله) means "Party of God" in Arabic.

The party publishes the Al-Bayyna newspaper and is led by Hassan Al-Sari. Hezbollah originated as an underground anti-Saddam network. Unlike other anti-Saddam groups it remained based in Iraq, not setting up shop in Iran or the West. The party is closely aligned to the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
