Partia Reformiste ORA (Reformist Party ORA) is a social liberal centre-left political party in Kosovo. The party stands for an independent, free and democratic Kosovo and like all other Kosovo Albanian political parties does not take part in the general elections in Serbia nor any other election or referendum organised by the Serbian parliament.

The party is normally referred to as ORA, which in Albanian means the Hour, however sometimes the name of the party is abbreviated to PRO from Partia Reformiste Ora.

ORA was founded as Civil List ORA (Albanian: Lista Qytetare ORA) in the summer of 2004 by Veton Surroi, a famous Kosovo Albanian publicist. At the last legislative elections, 24 October 2004, the party won 6.2 per cent of the popular vote and 7 out of 120 seats in the Assembly of Kosovo and formed together with the Democratic Party of Kosovo, a strong opposition.

The following are members of Kosovo Albanian parliament from ORA: Nazmi Jashari, Teuta Sahatqija, Gazmend Muhaxheri, Genc Gorani, Fatmire Mullhaxha Kollcaku, Ylber Hysa and Veton Surroi. Surroi is a member of the 'Kosovo Unity Team', a five member team of the most senior negotiators that represents the people of Kosovo in the talks for the final status of Kosovo.
