The Reformists Coalition (Persian: ائتلاف اصلاح‌طلبان‎) was the main electoral alliance of the reformists for 2008 Iranian legislative election.[3]

The alliance was made up of some 30 political parties, and inspired by Mohammad Khatami.[4] National Trust Party of Mehdi Karoubi however did not join the coalition due to conflicts with the mainstream reformists, and presented its own list of candidates.[5]
