The Centrist Alliance (French: Alliance centriste) (AC) is a centrist[1] political party in France.

It was founded in June 2009 by Jean Arthuis, a former member of the Union for French Democracy (UDF)[2] and currently Member of European Parliament, where he also serves as chair of the Committee on Budgets.

The party is seen as a successor to Arthuis' Rally the Centrists (Rassembler les centristes) political association, whose main tenet was to re-create the UDF which was dissolved upon creation of the MoDem and the New Centre.
