The Solidarity Movement ({{langx|el|Κίνημα Αλληλεγγύη}}, Kinima Allilengyi) is a Greek Cypriot nationalist party in Cyprus. It was founded in 2016 by Eleni Theocharous.

Theocharous departed the conservative Democratic Rally in November 2015, in protest to their support of a bizonal, bifederal settlement to the Cyprus problem. She established the Solidarity Movement in January 2016 and right-wing Evroko merged with the party in March of the same year.{{cite web |author=Kades |first=Andria |title=EVROKO to merge with Theocharous' Solidarity movement (Update) |url=http://cyprus-mail.com/2016/03/11/evroko-to-merge-with-theocharous-solidarity-movement |accessdate=11 May 2016 |work=Cyprus Mail}} The Solidarity Movement is contesting 56 seats in the 2016 Cypriot legislative election.{{cite news|last1=Psyllides|first1=George|title=Theocharous unveils Solidarity platform to 'save Republic'|url=http://cyprus-mail.com/2016/01/15/theocharous-unveils-solidarity-platform-to-save-republic/|accessdate=15 May 2016|work=Cyprus Mail|date=15 January 2016}}{{cite web |author=Anastasiou |first=Angelos |title=Theocharous leaves DISY, announces new movement (Updated) |url=http://cyprus-mail.com/2015/11/20/68892/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151121170809/https://cyprus-mail.com/2015/11/20/68892/ |archive-date=21 November 2015 |accessdate= |work=Cyprus Mail}}
