The Rassemblement national (RN, National Rally), known from 1972 to 2018 as the Front national (FN), is a French far-right political party, described as right-wing populist and nationalist. The party was founded in 1972, created by the Ordre Nouveau to be the legitimate political vehicle for the far-right movement. Jean-Marie Le Pen was its founder and leader until his resignation in 2011. While its influence was marginal until 1984, the party's role as a nationalist electoral force has grown considerably. In the 2002 presidential election, Jean-Marie Le Pen advanced to the second round but finished a distant second in the runoff to Jacques Chirac. His daughter Marine Le Pen was elected to succeed him as party leader in 2012. She temporarily stepped down in 2017 in order to concentrate on her presidential candidacy; she resumed her leadership after the election. She headed the party until 2021, when she temporarily resigned again. A year later, Jordan Bardella was elected as her successor.

A new logo was adopted with the new name of the party in 2018. No flag with logo observed in meetings, only communication devices.
