X Movement (Movimento X, MX), later Project For – X Movement (Progetto Per - Movimento X), is a populist political party in Italy founded in 2014 by some senators expelled from the Five Star Movement. The leader of the party is the former Senator Laura Bignami, while the national spokesperson is Giampaolo Sablich, her husband and former city councilor of Busto Arsizio.

The party is inspired by the Spanish Podemos party.{{cite web|url=http://www.progettox.it/2015/12/movimento-x-sostiene-podemos-alle-elezioni-spagnole-del-20-dicembre/ |title=Movimento X sostiene Podemos alle elezioni spagnole del 20 Dicembre – Progetto X |publisher=Progettox.it |access-date=2016-05-09}}

During 2015 Bartolomeo Pepe left the party in order to join, along with Paola De Pin (another ex-M5S senator formerly affiliated to Italy Work in Progress), the Federation of the Greens,
