The Movement for Justice and Development in Syria (Arabic: حركة العدالة والبناء في سورية, romanized: Ḥarakat Al-'Idalat Wal-Bana'a fi Suriyah) is a political party and movement founded in the year 2006 and based in London, United Kingdom. The group describes itself as "committed to peaceful, democratic change in Syria, and the creation of a modern state which respects human rights and promotes economic and social development." Its chairman, Anas al-Abdah, has been vocal in criticizing the actions of the Ba'athist government throughout the Syrian civil war.

The group, which openly advocated for the removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, was banned by the Ba'athist regime. During the Syrian civil war, the movement participated to the Syrian National Council and then to the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (Syrian National Coalition).
