PAIS Alliance (Proud and Sovereign Fatherland) (Spanish: Alianza PAIS (Patria Altiva I Soberana); país also means country) is a political movement of both leftists and moderates in Ecuador led by the incumbent President of Ecuador Rafael Correa. It did not participate in the 2006 parliamentary election due to the party's opinion that Congress is corrupt and obstructive, but did contest the 2007 Constituent Assembly election and drew approximately 70% of the votes. The Constituent Assembly was originally led by Alianza PAIS member Alberto Acosta, who was then replaced by another PAIS member, Fernando Cordero.

Alianza PAIS occupies the slot of party number 35 on the Ecuadorian ballot The colours of Alianza PAIS are lime green or lemon yellow, and navy blue. The slogan for the 2007 elections "Dale Patria" literally means "Go Fatherland."
