The Young Socialists (French: Les Jeunes Socialistes), formerly named Movement of the Young Socialists (MJS), is the youth organisation of the Socialist Party of France.

MJS was founded in 1993 as a formally independent youth organisation. However, its statutes commit the MJS to be generally supportive of its mother party. After a peak of around 10,000 members after the 2006 youth protests in France, MJS had 5,321 members in November 2009.

MJS is member of the Young European Socialists (YES, formerly ECOSY) and International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY).
