The RETO Movement (Spanish: Movimiento RETO; short for Movimiento Renovación Total, RETO) is an Ecuadorian political party. It was founded by former Azuay Prefect Paúl Carrasco in 2018.[3] Though it is composed by multiple partisan coalitions, it is mainly centre-right while also maintaining some liberal political philosophy.

For the 2023 Ecuadorian general election, the party endorsed Xavier Hervas.[4]
