La France Insoumise (FI or LFI; pronounced [la fʁɑ̃s ɛ̃sumiz], lit. 'France Unbowed')[a] is a left-wing populist political party in France,[18] launched in 2016 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, then a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and former co-president of the Left Party (PG). It aims to implement the eco-socialist and democratic socialist programme L'Avenir en commun (transl. A Shared Future).

The party nominated Mélenchon as its candidate for the presidential election of 2017. He came fourth in the first round, receiving 19.6% of the vote and failing to qualify for the second round by around 2%. After the legislative election of 2017, La France Insoumise formed a parliamentary group of 17 members of the National Assembly, with Mélenchon as the group's president. In the 2019 European Parliament election, it however only won six seats, below its expectations.

In 2022, Mélenchon again became the party's candidate for president, and later Christiane Taubira, winner of the People's Primary, endorsed Mélenchon. In the first round of 2022 French presidential election voting in April, Mélenchon came in third, garnering 7.7 million votes, narrowly behind second-place finisher Marine Le Pen.

The party uses the lower case Greek letter phi as its logotype.
