Moderation and Development Party (Persian: حزب اعتدال و توسعه Hezb-e E'tedāl va Towse'eh), is a political party in Iran. It is a pragmatic-centrist political party which held its first congress in 2002.[3] The party has been allied with Popular Coalition of Reforms[2] and Pervasive Coalition of Reformists[4] in parliamentary elections.

The party has had good relations with both Mohammad Khatami’s reform program and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.[1]

The current President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, has been a member of the party since its inception in 1999.
