Humanist Action (Spanish: Acción Humanista) is a Chilean left-wing political party, founded in 2020 by former militants of the Humanist Party. Its leader is Tomás Hirsch, who was a presidential candidate in 1999 and 2005.
The movement was formed after the resignation of 300 members of the Humanist Party, who rejected the role of deputy Pamela Jiles in the party.
Humanist Action is part of the Chile Digno coalition and Apruebo Dignidad. In the 2021 elections they supported the presidential candidate Gabriel Boric.
