PoD Research Institute is a think tank established in 2015 in Hong Kong. Formerly known as Path of Democracy, it is led by former Civic Party legislator Ronny Tong, who joined the Executive Council in 2017. Although officially unaligned with either the pro-Beijing camp or the pro-democracy camp, the group has been supportive of the policies and legislation put forward by the former, and was allowed to join the "patriots-only" legislative election. It no longer viewed itself as a political group after a rebranding in 2025.
