The People's Movement for the State (Serbian Cyrillic: Народни покрет за државу, romanizedNarodni pokret za državu, abbr. NPZD), also referred to as the Movement for the People and the State (Serbian Cyrillic: Покрет за народ и државу, romanizedPokret za narod i državu, abbr. PZND), are the working names of the political movement in Serbia initiated by Aleksandar Vučić, the president of Serbia and then-president of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), in March 2023. Vučić defined it as a "supra-party movement" that would include political parties, such as SNS and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), and other movements, associations, and individuals. He organised rallies to promote the movement in March and May 2023.

Despite not having a programme, the movement has been described as populist, centrist, or not strictly ideologically defined. Political parties such as SNS, Social Democratic Party of Serbia, Movement of Socialists, United Serbia, PUPS – Solidarity and Justice, Serbian Party Oathkeepers, and Greens of Serbia have expressed interest in joining the movement. Inside SPS, there have been voices supportive and opposing of the movement, though Ivica Dačić, the president of SPS, supports the inclusion of SPS in the movement. All the aforementioned parties, including SPS, contested the 2024 Belgrade City Assembly election as part of the Belgrade Tomorrow electoral list, in which they won 64 out of 110 seats in the City Assembly of Belgrade. Miloš Vučević, the president of SNS, said that the electoral list was the realisation of the movement.
