The Ramgavar is an Armenian political party in Lebanon. Founded by Armenian exiles in 1921, it has long been the smallest of the ethnic Armenian parties in Lebanon. It won its first-ever parliamentary seat in 2000, as party of Rafik Hariri's Dignity List.

The Ramgavar is considered the most ideologically moderate of Lebanon's Armenian parties. It has opposed what it sees as the right-wing policies of the Tashnak Party, for many years the largest Armenian group, while also avoiding adopting the leftist policies of the Social Democratic Hunchakian Party.

The current party leader is Eddy Bahaderian.
