PoD Research Institute (Chinese: 民思政策研究所) is a think tank established in 2015 in Hong Kong. Formerly known as Path of Democracy (PoD, Chinese: 民主思路), it is led by former Civic Party legislator Ronny Tong, who joined the Executive Council in 2017. Although officially unaligned with either the pro-Beijing camp or the pro-democracy camp, the group has been supportive of the policies and legislation put forward by the former, and was allowed to join the "patriots-only" legislative election. It no longer viewed itself as a political group after a rebranding in 2025.
