Civic Platform (Russian: Гражда́нская Платфо́рма, tr. Grazhdanskaya Platforma, IPA: [ɡrɐʐˈdanskəjə plɐtˈformə]) is a conservative^[3] political party in Russia. The party was formed on 4 June 2012^[4] by businessman and 2012 presidential candidate Mikhail Prokhorov.^[5][6]

The party was formed with 500 members, the minimum number required by law for a party to be registered in Russia, with the party originally being founded as a rudimentary mechanism through which independent candidates could stand in elections.^[7]

Prokhorov announced his decision to leave the party in 2015 and was subsequently replaced by Rifat Shaykhutdinov as party leader. Since then, the party has supported President Vladimir Putin.

Following the 2021 elections, the party currently has one representative in the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament.
