The Independent Ecological Movement (French: Mouvement écologiste indépendant) is a political party in France founded by Antoine Waechter, former presidential candidate of The Greens in 1994.

The party ran candidates in the 2004 regional elections and in the 2004 European Parliament election in France and were able to prevent the Greens from gaining more seats, such as in the Eastern EU parliamentary region where the MEI's 3% were enough to prevent the Greens from taking 2 seats there instead of one.

In the 2007 presidential election, Antoine Waechter rallied the centrist Francois Bayrou after failing to be a candidate himself.

Before the 2007 general election, the party signed an electoral deal with Ecology Generation, the Greens and CAP21 having refused to join.

Despite being openly favourable to the Europe Écologie coalition, for the 2009 European Parliament election, the party ran as part of the Independent Ecological Alliance which won 3.63% of the vote.
