The Mouvement Réformateur (MR) is a Belgian French-speaking liberal party, favoring a united Belgium. Part of governing coalition in Federal State, in Walloon Region (until the mid-2004 elections) and in Brussels-Capital Region (until the mid-2004 elections too). Made small gains in the 2003 elections. It is a new name for a tightly knit alliance between three liberal parties: the liberal PRL, the regionalist FDF and the progressive Christian Democratic MCC. The MR is member of Liberal International and the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party.

The ideology of the MR is a mix of free-market liberalism, and recently of a more social liberalism.
