The Iraqi Front for National Dialogue (al-Jabha al-Iraqia li al-Hiwar al-Watani ) also known as Hiwar is a Sunni Arab-led Iraqi political list that was formed to contest the December 2005 elections. It describes itself as a non-sectarian coalition that wants to end the presence of foreign troops and to rebuild government institutions.

The main components are:

  • The Iraqi National Front, led by former Minister of State Saleh al-Mutlaq, who was the chief Sunni Arab negotiator for the constitution
  • The National Front for a Free and United Iraq of Hassan Zaydan
  • The Iraqi Christian Democratic Party of Minas al-Yusufi
  • The Democratic Arab Front of Farhan al-Sudayd
  • The Sons of Iraq Movement of Ali al-Suhayri

The coalition includes Arabs, Kurds, Assyrians, Yezidis and Shabaks.

The Front is distinct from the Iraqi National Dialogue Council, headed by Khalaf al-Ulayyan, which is a component of the Iraqi Accord Front.

Mutlaq campaigned against the constitution in the October 2005 referendum, and refused to join the other main Sunni Arab-led list, Iraqi Accord Front because that group's largest component, the Iraqi Islamic Party, had backed the new constitution.

The Front performed relatively well in the December 2005 election, winning 11 seats, but complained of widespread electoral fraud and called for a re-run of the poll.

The party won 16 seats in the 2010 Iraqi Elections, becoming the biggest Sunni party in the Iraqi parliament.
