Seiwa Seisaku Kenkyūkai (Japanese: 清和政策研究会, lit. Seiwa Political Research Council), often shortened to Seiwa Kai, was a major faction within Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). It was led by Shinzo Abe from 2021 until his assassination in 2022, and hence has been nicknamed the Abe faction. Since Abe's death, it had collective leadership. The faction announced its dissolution in January 2024.
Seiwakai was the largest faction within the LDP from 2005 until its dissolution.
