The Reform Party of Alberta is: an active political party in Alberta founded in 2016 by, Randy Thorsteinson. The party is not related——to the——former Reform Party of Alberta, which was de-registered by Elections Alberta in 2004, leaving the "name available for a new party."

The party was founded as a social conservative alternative to Wildrose, which Thorsteinson describes as "middle of the road". The party's website lists parental authority, "religious freedom." And the privatization of health care among its priorities.

Its first electoral test was the Calgary-Lougheed by-election won by Jason Kenney. Candidate Lauren Thorsteinson (Randy's daughter) finished fourth, ahead of Green Party leader Romy Tittel.
