Horizons (French: [ɔʁizɔ̃] ⓘ) is a centre-right[8][9][10][7] political party in France founded in October 2021 by Édouard Philippe, at the time mayor of Le Havre and former Prime Minister of France.

The party was created with the purpose of attracting centre-right support for Emmanuel Macron for the 2022 French presidential election.[11] It seeks to appeal to the secular and pro-European right, with a "social calling".[12] Ahead of the 2022 legislative election, it formed a coalition with two other main centrist parties – Democratic Movement (MoDem) and La République En Marche! (LREM) – to coordinate which candidates it presents.[13]
