Les Républicains (LR) is a French right-wing political party, formed in 2015 from the transformation of the UMP and continuing the tradition of Gaullist and conservative formations.

In 2026, it remains an active component of the political landscape, with Bruno Retailleau as its central figure and internal debates regarding alliances and the primary for the 2027 presidential election.
