Future Movement (Arabic: تيار المستقبل, Tayyar Al Mustaqbal) (FM) is a Sunni Muslim political movement in Lebanon, led by Saad Hariri, younger son of the assassinated former Prime Minister of Lebanon, Rafik Hariri.

The movement is the largest member of the March 14 Alliance, which won a majority of the seats in the May 2005 parliamentary elections.

The current leader, Saad Hariri, has vowed to transform it into a political party when the country becomes stable and the regime without religious references. Most of its support comes from Sunni Muslims and it is allied to the Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) Druze Party, and Maronites who are associated with the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb parties (main 3 allies of FM). The main opponent of Future Movement is the March 8 Alliance, most important parts being Free Patriotic Movement(FPM) led by General Michel Aoun and Hezbollah.
