The Renewal Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Renovador) was a political party in El Salvador. The Renovadores started as an organized internal tendency within the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) around 1999, then split from the FMLN around 2002 when their principal leader, Facundo Guardado, was expelled from the FMLN.

In the legislative elections, held on 16 March 2003, the party won 1.9 % of the popular vote and no seats in the Legislative Assembly. They did not receive enough votes, according to Salvadoran law, to continue to exist as a legal electoral party.
