The Maldives Reform Movement (Dhivehi: މޯލްޑިވްސް ރިފޯމް މޫވްމެންޓް) is a political party in the Maldives officially founded on 20 November 2019.[2] The Elections Commission authorized the formation on 2 October 2019. The party was conceived by founder of MRM Yumna Maumoon's father and former president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom[2] after disagreements with Abdulla Yameen about the direction of the Progressive Party of Maldives.

On 24 May 2023, the Election Commission issued a decision to dissolve the MRM, as the party failed to maintain a minimum of 3,000 members as mandated by law.[3] It was later found out that the Election Commission didn't count some membership forms that were not processed at that time and the Supreme Court revoked the dissolvement letter.[4]
