The Jihad and Reform Front (JRF), or Reformation and Jihad Front (RJF), is a Sunni insurgent coalition in Iraq that announced its formation on May 2, 2007.[1] The announcement was posted on several jihadist websites.

The Front is officially opposed to and critical of Al-Qaida in Iraq, and comprises three groups: the Islamic Army in Iraq, the Mujahideen Army, and some senior leaders from the Sharia Commission of Ansar al-Sunnah, according to the Front's founding notice. Leaflets recently plastered on walls in the western city of Fallujah said another insurgent group, the 1920 Revolution Brigades, may have joined the front as well.
