Civic Force (Romanian: Forța Civică, FC) was a political party in Romania. It was founded in 2004 by former Mayor of Bucharest Viorel Lis. Its last president was former Prime Minister Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu, elected at the September 2012 party congress until 2014 when the party was absorbed by the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL).
Civic Force (FC) was founded in 2004 by former Bucharest mayor, Viorel Lis, under the name 'Christian Party' (Partidul Creștin). In 2007, Adrian Iurașcu became the president of the party, after which the party adopted its current name. In 2009, FC ran for the European Parliament elections, but failed to win any seats.
In 2012, former Prime Minister Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu was elected president. For the 2012 parliamentary elections, FC joined the Right Romania Alliance (ARD), an electoral alliance with other centre-right opposition parties: Democratic Liberal Party (PDL) and Christian-Democratic National Peasants' Party (PNȚCD). Furthermore, the party has applied to become a member of the European People's Party (PPE). Through ARD's list during the legislative election held in that year, FC gained three deputy seats (Dan Cristian Popescu, Dănuț Culețu and Cristian Roman) and a senator seat (Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu).
In July 2014, Civic Force was absorbed into the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL).
