Ecolo (which officially stands for Écologistes Confédérés pour l'organisation de luttes originales (English: Ecologists confederated for the organisation of original struggles), but in reality is a shorthand for "ecology" or "ecologist") is a French-speaking Belgian green political party in Wallonia, Brussels and the German-speaking Community of Belgium. It currently participates in the Brussels regional government.

It was part of the outgoing federal coalition, but resigned before the election and was decimated by a resurgent Parti Socialiste.
