The Popular Party of Reforms ({{langx|fa|حزب مردمی اصلاحات|Ḥezb-e Mardomī-e Eṣlāḥāṭ‎}}) is a political party in Iran.

It is led by the cleric Mohammad Zare Foumani, who was fired by Mehdi Karroubi from his presidential campaign in 2009{{citation|url=https://www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/mehdi-karrubi-biography-and-campaign-news|author=Charlie Szrom|title=Mehdi Karrubi Biography and Campaign News|publisher=AEI Critical Threats Project|date=13 May 2009|access-date=3 March 2017}} and did not support Iranian Green Movement.{{citation|url=https://iwpr.net/global-voices/iranian-opposition-struggles-survive|author=Sahar Namazikhah|title=Iranian Opposition Struggles to Survive|publisher=Institute for War & Peace Reporting|date=23 November 2010|access-date=3 March 2017|quote=Mohammad Zare Foumani, a cleric who heads the Young Reformist Coalition – itself part of the new movement – has said the New Reform Front’s members uphold the founding principles of the Islamic Republic and defend the rule of the Supreme Leader. That view seems out of step with the view of the opposition reformers. Green Movement leaders Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Karroubi and Khatami, said Foumani, are “fossils fit only for history and museums”. He called for “a new revolution within the reformist movement”, but it is fairly obvious that the only thing the front has in common with the reformers is its name.}}

The party issued a statement in 2013 and supported candidacy of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani for president.{{citation|url=http://www.enduringamerica.com/home/2013/5/19/iran-today-still-no-unity-candidate.html|title=Iran Today: Still No Unity Candidate|publisher=Enduring America|date=19 May 2013|access-date=3 March 2017}}
