Ecolo, officially Écologistes Confédérés pour l'organisation de luttes originales (English: Confederate Ecologists for the Organisation of Original Struggles) is a French-speaking political party in Belgium based on green politics.[2][3][6] The party is active in Wallonia, the Brussels-Capital Region, and the German-speaking Community of Belgium.

Ecolo's Flemish equivalent is Groen; the two parties maintain close relations with each other.
