Debout la France ([dəbu la fʁɑ̃s], lit.'France Arise', DLF), originally called Debout la République ([dəbu la ʁepyblik], lit.'Republic Arise', DLR), is a French political party founded by Nicolas Dupont-Aignan in 1999 as the "genuine Gaullist" branch of the Rally for the Republic. It was relaunched again in 2000 and 2002 and held its inaugural congress as an autonomous party in 2008. At the 2014 congress, its name was changed to Debout la France.

It is led by Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, who held the party's only seat in the French National Assembly before his unseating in 2024. Dupont-Aignan contested the 2012 French presidential election and received 644,043 votes in the first ballot, or 1.79% of the votes cast, finishing seventh. In the 2007 French presidential election, he had failed to win the required 500 endorsements from elected officials to run. He dropped out without endorsing any candidate; however, he was re-elected by the first round of the 2007 French legislative election as a DLF candidate in his home department of Essonne.

The party was a member of EUDemocrats, a Eurosceptic transnational European political party. For the 2019 European Parliament election in France, the party joined forces with the National Centre of Independents and Peasants to form an alliance named Les Amoureux de la France (lit.'The Lovers of France'), and announced its alliance with the European Conservatives and Reformists.
