Reason of the Polish Left, or Reason Party ("RACJA Polskiej Lewicy"; "RACJA"; "RACJA PL"), is a marginal left-wing anti-clerical political party in Poland. It was registered on August 8, 2002, as the Anticlerical Progressive Party REASON ("Antyklerykalna Partia Postępu RACJA"; "APP RACJA"; "APP Racja"; "APP"; "APPR") and acquired its current name on January 14, 2006.

The Party is opposed to the involvement of the Roman Catholic Church in state affairs, the teaching of religion in schools, and state financial support for the Church in Poland. The Party believes in the separation of church and state, the promotion of the role of women in public life, the introduction of sex education in schools, state support for contraception, legalized abortion and euthanasia, tolerance toward social minorities, and the legal recognition of same-sex relationships through civil unions. The Party supports free public health care, an increase in tax revenues, improving economic conditions for businesses and reducing unemployment. The Party supports Poland’s membership in NATO.

In June 2005 the Party endorsed Senator Maria Szyszkowska as its candidate in the 2005 presidential election.
