Centrist Union of Democrats for Progress
The Centrist Union of Democrats for Progress ({{langx|fr|Union centriste des démocrates de progrès}}, UCDP) was a parliamentary group in the French Senate.
Formed after the 1968 Senate elections, the UCDP succeeded the Popular Republicans and Democratic Centre (RPCD) group. It was composed quasi-exclusively of members of the Centre des démocrates sociaux (CDS), the Christian democratic component of the Union for French Democracy.{{Cite web |title=sénateurs udf |url=https://www.france-politique.fr/senateurs-centristes.htm |website=www.france-politique.fr}}
