The Popular Assembly (Spanish: Asamblea Popular) is a socialist electoral coalition in Uruguay.
The party was founded in April 2006, as a more left-wing alternative to the Broad Front. It is supported by the Revolutionary Communist Party of Uruguay, the Humanist Party of Uruguay and other left-wing groups, including several former local organisation of the Broad Left. In 2008, it gained the support of the March 26 Movement.
