The Party of Progress (abbreviation: PdF) is a political party in Germany founded in Cologne in 2020.[1] While the party sees itself as being beyond the left–right political spectrum, it is classified as left-liberal by political scientists.[2]

The PdF claims to be active throughout Germany. Joining the PdF is not tied to German nationality and, according to the party's statutes, is open to every resident of Germany and every EU citizen.[not verified in body] In the 2024 European elections in Germany, it received 0.6% of the vote and entered the European Parliament with one Member of the European Parliament.
