The '''Movement for France''' ({{langx|fr|Mouvement pour la France}}, '''MPF'''; {{IPA|fr|muvmɑ̃ puʁ laˈfʁɑ̃s}}) was a [[Conservatism|conservative]] [[Soft Euroscepticism|Eurosceptic]] [[List of political parties in France|French political party]], founded on 20 November 1994, with a marked [[Regions of France|regional]] stronghold in the [[Vendée]]. It was led by [[Philippe de Villiers]], once communications minister under [[Jacques Chirac]].

The party was considered Eurosceptic, though not to the extent of seeking [[withdrawal from the European Union]], contrasting with some mainstream Eurosceptic parties such as the [[UK Independence Party]] (UKIP). The MPF resisted increases in [[European integration]] and campaigned successfully for a "no" vote in the [[2005 French European Constitution referendum|French referendum of 2005]] on the proposed [[European Constitution]]. It was also strongly opposed to the possible [[accession of Turkey to the European Union]] and to what it saw as the [[Islamisation]] of France.

The party was a member of President [[Nicolas Sarkozy]]'s presidential majority, which gathered allies of the ruling party [[Union for a Popular Movement]] (UMP). However, the party eventually distanced itself from Sarkozy, and party leader Villiers expressed support for [[Marine Le Pen]] in the [[2017 French presidential election|2017 presidential elections]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=redacchef |date=2017-03-28 |title=Philippe de Villiers confirme son ralliement à Marine Le Pen |url=https://www.valeursactuelles.com/politique/philippe-de-villiers-confirme-son-ralliement-a-marine-le-pen |access-date=2025-01-16 |website=Valeurs actuelles |language=fr-FR}}</ref>
