Civic Renewal Party (Partido Renovacion Civilista) was a political party in Panama, founded by a group of professionals who had played key roles in the Cruzada Civilista (Civic Crusade) that opposed General Manuel Antonio Noriega's military dictatorship during 1987-1989.
Established in 1993, the party took part in two general elections. In 1994, it backed then-Comptroller General Ruben Dario Carles as part of the "Cambio '94" ("Change '94") coalition and in 1999, it supported banker and former Arnulfista candidate Alberto Vallarino, as a part of the "Accion Opositora" ("Opposing Action") alliance.
Although the party elected three legislators to the unicameral Legislative Assembly in 1994, in the 1999 election it failed to garner enough votes to survive and, pursuant to Panamanian Electoral Laws, was dissolved thereafter.
