The National Progressive Unionist Party (in Arabic: Hizb al Tagammu' al Watani al Taqadomi al Wahdawi حزب التجمع الوطني التقدمي الوحدوي, commonly referred to as Tagammu) is a democratic socialist political party in Egypt. The party is considered to be the defender of the principles of the 1952 Revolution. It calls for standing against attempts to reverse the 1952 Revolution's social gains for laborers, the poor, and other low-income groups.
The party boycotted the first presidential elections in 2005. At the last legislative elections, November 2010, the party won 5 out of 518 seats.
