The Tuesday Group is an informal caucus of approximately 50 moderate Republican members of the House of Representatives. It was founded in 1994 in the wake of the Republican takeover of the House. The Republican House caucus was dominated by conservative Republicans and the Tuesday Group was founded to counterbalance that conservative trend. There were approximately 40 members when it was founded.

In 2007 the Tuesday Group founded its own political action committee (PAC).

Two of the most influential members of the group are Michigan Rep. Fred Upton, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Missouri Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, who was a co-chair of the group. The current co-chairs of the Tuesday Group are Pennsylvania Rep. Charlie Dent, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, and Illinois Rep. Robert Dold.

The other major group of moderates in Congress is the Republican Main Street Partnership, which consists of both Representatives and Senators.
