Segni Pact (Italian: Patto Segni, PS), also called the Pact of National Rebirth (Patto di Rinascita Nazionale), was a Christian-democratic,centrist and liberal political party in Italy, named after Mario Segni.

The party was founded in 1993 by former members of the Democratic Alliance and as the continuation of the Populars for Reform, a split from Christian Democracy (DC) in 1992, whose principal aim was electoral reform from proportional representation to a plurality voting system.

The party contested the 1994 general election within the Pact for Italy coalition, along with the Italian People's Party with Mario Segni as candidate for Prime Minister. The PS included in its lists Republicans (Giorgio La Malfa, Alberto Zorzoli, Vittorio Dotti, and ), Liberals (Valerio Zanone, Pietro Milio and Luigi Compagna), Socialists (Giuliano Amato, Giulio Tremonti and Claudio Nicolini), Social Democrats (Enrico Ferri and Gian Franco Schietroma) and several former Christian Democrats (Mario Segni himself, Gianni Rivera, Alberto Michelini, Elisabetta Gardini, Michele Cossa, Livio Filippi, Vincenzo Viola, etc.).
