The Advanced Party (Hebrew: מפלגת המתקדמים, romanized: Mifleget HaMitkadmim), otherwise known as the Advanced Association (Hebrew: התאחדות המתקדמים, romanized: Hitahdut HaMitkadmim) was a liberal and centrist Zionist political association in Mandatory Palestine founded by several urban liberal Zionists. The party was founded in order to represent the voice of Tel Aviv liberals and Zionists in the election to the Yishuv's Assembly of Representatives in 1920. The party placed sixth in the election, coming in behind their rural General Zionist counterrpart, Hitahdut HaIkarim. The party represents first formal General Zionist political party to be founded, and as one of the earliest political ancestors of the modern-day Likud.
