Valencian People's Initiative (Valencian: Iniciativa del Poble Valencià, IdPV), also known as Iniciativa or Iniciativa-Compromís, is a Valencianist and ecosocialist political party, in the Valencian Country, Spain. IdPV is one of the parties that makes up the Compromís coalition.

Iniciativa has its origin in Esquerra i País, an internal current of Esquerra Unida del País Valencià (EUPV) —the section of the 'United Left' (Izquierda Unida, IU) in the Valencian Community— which represented around 30% of the organization, and which was constituted as a political party on October 20, 2007, in the midst of the crisis in EUPV that pitted the majority sector —formed around the Communist Party of the Valencian Country and the general coordinator Glòria Marcos— with the critics closest to Valencian Nationalism.
