The Coalition for the Good of All ("Coalición por el Bien de Todos") was a left-wing coalition created by the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), Convergence and the Labor Party (PT) to support Andrés Manuel López Obrador as a candidate for the presidency of Mexico in the general election of 2006. The coalition also presented joint candidates for Congressional and local elections.

The coalition was approved by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE, Instituto Federal Electoral) in December 2005 and on January 4, 2006 the Executive Commission of the alliance was formalized with an estimated budget of 600 million pesos (roughly 56 million U.S. dollars).
