Civil Position or Civic Position (Ukrainian: „Громадянська позиція“) is a political party in Ukraine registered in March 2005. It is led by former Minister of Defence of Ukraine Anatoliy Hrytsenko.
The party was registered in March 2005 under the name Mighty Ukraine (Ukrainian: "Могутня Україна") and it was known as this until 2010. At this time the party did not participate in any parliamentary elections. The original party leader was Oleksandr Chubatenko. Chubatenko ran the election headquarters of Anatoliy Hrytsenko during the 2010 Ukrainian presidential election.
In February 2010 the party was renamed Civil Position, and at the same time Hrytsenko became party leader. The decision to rename the party and change its chairman was approved by a party Congress on 21 January 2010.
At the 2010 local elections the party's results were infinitesimal. Civil Position gained one seat on the Ternopil city council.
In August 2011, the party announced it would merge with the European Party of Ukraine. Later, in December 2011 the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform and Civil Position announced they were negotiating a merger. However, in June 2012, the party announced it would compete on a single party list with other opposition parties during the 2012 parliamentary election.
In a December 2011 poll by Rating, the party scored 2.3%; and in May 2012, 2.4%.
