The Peoples National Party (Народная национальная партия) is a minor right wing political party in Russia. Its leader is Aleksandr Ivanov-Sukharevsky, who founded the party in 1994.

The party believes in the creation of an all-white Russia, and eventually a Russian-led white Europe. The party is known for its largely youthful membership, and has a large racist skinhead following, with members wearing a white shirt with a black armband bearing a black Russian cross. Racist skinhead leader Semyon Tokmakov has served as deputy leader of the party.

The party supports the removal of immigrants who have come from the former Republics of the Soviet Union, and has been identified as a leading exponent of both anti-Semitism and anti-Roma ideas, as well as general opposition to all immigration.

The party publishes its own newspaper, Ya-Russky. Its membership is estimated at between 12 and 15,000, with the majority being under 22 years of age.
