Ishraqat Kanoon (Arabic: إشراقة كانون) is an Islamic political party in Iraq. The party contested in 2021 Iraqi parliamentary election for the first time and won 6 seats. In 2022, it gained an additional seat. The party is associated with the Al-Abbas Shrine in Karbala and is believed to be associated with the Najaf clergy. The party attempts to merge secular civil and Islamic values. It got 100,374 votes or 1.13 % of the total votes in the 2021 election. The party emerged from the Tishreen activist movement, and faced challenges in impacting Iraq's power structure due to repression, internal divisions, and being absorbed by established political factions.

In the Council of Representatives of Iraq, the party formed a bloc of ten MPs, including 4 Independents to form the Ishraqa Bloc.
