The Front for the Renewal of Concord (Spanish: Frente Renovador de la Concordia) is a provincial political party in Argentina, based in Misiones Province.
The front was put together in 2003 by supporters of the province's governor, Carlos Rovira, to ensure his re-election. Bringing together Radical Civic Union and Justicialist Party members and smaller local parties including the Movement for a New Country and Progreso Social, the front had the support of Peronist President Néstor Kirchner. The front supported Kirchner in the 2003 election and its representatives in Congress sit as part of the Kirchnerist Front for Victory block.
At the legislative elections of 23 October 2005 the party won two of the 127 elected deputies (out of 257) and two of the 24 elected senators (out of 72). As of 2007, its senators are Eduardo Torres and Elida Vigo. The Front's candidate for Governor, Maurice Closs, was elected in 2007.

“When a person says, “I see a yellowish-orange after-image,” he is saying something like this: “There is something going on which is like what is going on when I have my eyes open, am awake, and there is an orange illuminated in good light in front of me, that is, when I really see an orange.””
—John Jamieson Carswell Smart (b. 1920)
“The great renewal of the world will perhaps consist in this, that man and maid, freed of all false feelings and reluctances, will seek each other not as opposites, but as brother and sister, as neighbors, and will come together as human beings.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
“Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
