Modern (Polish: Nowoczesna, styled as ".Nowoczesna") is a centrist[2][3] to centre-left[4][5] political party in Poland. It is currently led by Adam Szłapka.

It was formed in 2015 as "NowoczesnaPL" although it had to change the name to ".Nowoczesna" later that year due to a dispute with the similarly named Modern Poland Foundation. Its first president Ryszard Petru served until 2017, when he was succeeded by Katarzyna Lubnauer. It first gained seats in the 2015 parliamentary election, and in 2018 it joined the Civic Coalition to participate together in the local elections. Szłapka was elected as the president in 2019. Modern is a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, and it is orientated towards the principles of liberalism,[6][7] and classical liberalism.[8] It also supports Poland's membership in the European Union.[9]
