The New Democrat Coalition is a caucus in the House of Representatives of the United States Congress made up of Democrats, primarily liberals and centrists, who take a pro-business stance and a liberal-to-moderate approach to fiscal matters. Most members hold socially liberal views.[8]

The caucus has been described as being center[9] to center-left.[11]

When the 119th Congress commenced on Jan. 3, 2025, the New Democrat Coalition touted 110 members (including one nonvoting member), making it the largest House Democrat ideological caucus, followed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.[12][13]
