Territories of Progress – Social Reformist Movement (French: Territoires de progrès – Mouvement social-réformiste, TDP) was a French political party of the centre[3] to centre-left.[4][5] It was founded in February 2020 by government ministers Jean-Yves Le Drian and Olivier Dussopt formerly of the Socialist Party who had previously left to join the presidential majority (La République En Marche!) of President Emmanuel Macron. Since October 2021, the party's president has been Olivier Dussopt. The party constituted the social democratic or centre-left part of the presidential majority.[6]

As of 2022, it had 46 members of Parliament. Élisabeth Borne was a regular member (not an elected member of Parliament) who, on 16 May 2022, was appointed by President Macron as prime minister to replace Jean Castex.
