Moderation and Development Party (Persian: حزب اعتدال و توسعه‎‎) is a political party in Iran. It is a pragmatic-centrist political party which held its first congress in 2002.[3]

The party is part of the faction called "modernist right", "moderate reformists" and "technocrats" that draws from upper-level bureaucrats, industrialists and managers.[6] It is classified as "republican right", which deals with a platform on modernization and economic growth rather than social justice, along with the Executives of Construction Party and the Islamic Labour Party.[7]

The party has been allied with Popular Coalition of Reforms[5] and Pervasive Coalition of Reformists[8] in parliamentary elections and has had good relations with both Mohammad Khatami’s reform program and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.[2] In April 2017, the party joined the supreme policymaking council of reformists.[9]

Sources in the early 2000s branded them as part of the conservative camp[10][11] or reformists under the leadership of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.[12]
