The Aboriginal People's Party was a political party in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan that nominated 10 candidates in the 1982 elections for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

The aim of the party was to promote the interests of First Nations (i.e., "Native Indian") and Métis (mixed race) people in the province.

The party fared poorly: it collected only 1,156 votes, 0.22% of the provincial total. It won no seats in the legislature, and did not nominate candidates in any subsequent election.
