The Reform Party of Alberta is an active political party in Alberta[1] founded in 2016 by Randy Thorsteinson. The party is not related to the former Reform Party of Alberta, which was de-registered by Elections Alberta in 2004, leaving the name available for a new party.[2]

The party was founded as a social conservative alternative to Wildrose, which Thorsteinson describes as "middle of the road".[3] The party's website lists parental authority, religious freedom, and the privatization of health care among its priorities.
