The Advanced Party (Hebrew: מפלגת המתקדמים, romanizedMifleget HaMitkadmim) was a centrist Zionist political party in Mandatory Palestine. The Adavnced Party was largely colored by central European culture, and specifically an Urban culture style of liberalism. The party served at the politcial vehicle of urban-based General Zionists during the election to the Yishuv's Assembly of Representatives in 1920. Prior to the next election in 1925, the General Zionists which made up the party chose to run under the banner of the "Centre List". Eventually a formal General Zionist political party would be founded, serving as one of the main political ancestors of the modern-day Likud.
