Rassemblement National Français (RNF) (French, 'French National Rally') was a French far-right party active between 1954 and 1957.[1]

Rassemblement National Français was founded on 20 May 1954 by Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour and Maurice Bardèche,[2] with the project of "[bringing] together all French people who wish to defend and propagate the ideas of national recovery, social reform and reconciliation among French people."[1][3] It presented candidates in the 1956 French legislative election, resulting in the election of Tixier-Vignancour.[1]
