The Reform Conservatives ({{Langx|de|Die Reformkonservativen}}; REKOS) was a conservative political party in Austria.

The party was launched on 23 December 2013 by Ewald Stadler, a former member of the National Council and eurosceptic MEP for the Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the Alliance for the Future (BZÖ). In the run-up of the 2014 European Parliament election, REKOS formed a joint list with the Christian Party of Austria (CPÖ).{{cite news|url=http://diepresse.com/home/politik/innenpolitik/1510831/Stadler-tritt-mit-ChristenPartei-bei-EUWahl-an?from=gl.home_politik|work=Die Presse|title=Stadler tritt mit Christen-Partei bei EU-Wahl an|date=23 December 2013|accessdate=9 March 2014|language=German}}

The Reform Conservatives want to abolish the European Parliament and to reverse the 1992 Maastricht Treaty that created the European Union. They plan to cooperate with the right-wing eurosceptic Europe of Freedom and Democracy group.{{Citation |url=http://orf.at/stories/2221173/ |title=Stadler will EU als "Schutzmacht für verfolgte Christen" |publisher=ORF.at |date=7 March 2014}}
