The Reformist Party (Spanish: Partido Reformista), formally and less-commonly known as the Reformist Republican Party (Spanish: Partido Republicano Reformista) was a political party in early 20th-century Spain. It was founded in 1912 by Melquíades Álvarez, Gumersindo de Azcárate, and José Ortega y Gasset, and presented itself as representing a moderate, accidentalist and democratic republicanism. In the 1914 election, the party elected 11 members to the Congress of Deputies.

The party ceased to exist during the Second Spanish Republic, which began in 1931.
