The Alliance of Hope (Malay: Pakatan Harapan; abbrev: PH; stylized as HARAPAN) is a Malaysian political coalition consisting of centre-left political parties which was formed in 2015 to succeed the Pakatan Rakyat coalition. It has been part of the government together with other political coalitions and parties since November 2022, and previously led a single-coalition government from May 2018 to February 2022.

It is currently the largest coalition in the Dewan Rakyat with 81 seats and is part of the state governments of seven of 13 states in the country, comprising Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Pahang, Melaka and Sabah. It also provides confidence and supply in Johor for its state government led by Barisan Nasional (BN).

The coalition consists of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), People's Justice Party (PKR), National Trust Party (AMANAH), and United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (UPKO).

The coalition deposed the Barisan Nasional coalition government during the 2018 Malaysian general election, ending its 60-year-long reign (counted together with its predecessor, Alliance) since independence. Pakatan fell from power as a result of the 2020 Malaysian political crisis, when its chairman and then-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad resigned from office, and his Malaysian United Indigenous Party with 11 members of parliament from PKR left the coalition.^[2]

After the 2022 Malaysian general election resulted in a hung parliament, Pakatan formed a grand coalition with Barisan, Sarawak Parties' Alliance (GPS), Sabah People's Alliance (GRS), Heritage Party (WARISAN), Malaysian Nation Party (PBM), Social Democratic Harmony Party (KDM), and independents commonly referred to as a national unity government, with Pakatan chairman Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister. While the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) was initially part of the grand coalition, it joined the opposition in September 2023.
