绿色政治是一个将目标放在生态及环境上的政治思想，他们透过草根式、参与式的民主制度来达成目标。绿色政治是由绿色运动参与者所提倡，他们从1980年代开始在世界各地成立绿党。「绿色」（Green）翻译自德文的「Grün」，是来自于世界上第一个成功的绿党，成立于1970年代晚期的德国绿党（die Grünen）。「政治生态学」则用在欧洲和学术界。

绿色政治支持者称为「绿人」，分享有关生态运动、保育运动、环境运动、女权运动和和平主义等想法。除了民主和生态议题，绿色政治也关心公民自由、社会正义和非暴力。

Green politics (also known as ecopolitics) is a political ideology that aims to create an ecologically sustainable society rooted in environmentalism, nonviolence, social justice, and grassroots democracy. It began taking shape in the western world in the 1970s; since then Green parties have developed and established themselves in many countries around the globe, and have achieved some electoral success.
