The Movement for Quality Government in Israel (Hebrew: התנועה למען איכות השלטון בישראל, HaTnu'a Lema'an Ekhut HaShilton BeYisrael) is a Leftist Israeli non-profit organization.

Formed as a protest movement in March 1990 during the coalition crisis,[1] in 2020 the group unsuccessfully petitioned the Supreme Court of Israel to bar Benjamin Netanyahu from power.[2] It is a staunch opponent of the 2023 Israeli judicial reform[3] and has led protests against the proposals.[4]
