Bright Blue is an independent think tank and pressure group advocating for liberal conservative and one nation conservative[1] ideas and policies, based in the United Kingdom. Founded in 2014 by British entrepreneur Ryan Shorthouse,[2] Bright Blue aims to "defend and champion liberal, open, democratic and meritocratic values, institutions and policies."[3] Bright Blue is a membership-based think tank, with membership open to anyone who identifies as a liberal conservative.

The Daily Telegraph has described the organisation as "the modernising wing of the Tory party"[4] and the ConservativeHome website has described it as "a deep intellectual gene pool for the Conservative Party's future".[5] In 2018, the Evening Standard[6] noted that Bright Blue "has managed to set the party’s agenda on a number of issues". In 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, it was shortlisted for both UK Social Policy Think Tank of The Year and UK Environment & Energy Think Tank of The Year in the annual Prospect awards.[7][8][9][10]
