The Islamic Iran Participation Front (Persian: جبهه مشارکت ایران اسلامی; Jebheye Mosharekate Iran-e Eslaami) was a reformist political party in Iran. It was sometimes described as the most dominant member within the 2nd of Khordad Front.[7]

The party took 189 of the 290 seats (65%) in the Sixth Majlis.[8]

In the aftermath of the Green Movement protests, its license was revoked and the party was subsequently barred from contesting elections.[9]
