राष्ट्रीय परिवर्तन दल / Rashtriya Parivartan Dal (National Transformation Party), a political party in India led by D.P. Yadav.

RPD had one seat in the Uttar Pradesh state assembly, held by Mehboob Ali. Ali, however, defected to Bahujan Samaj Party on February 11 2003 as he was offered a ministerial post in the Mayawati cabinet.

Yadav's son, Vikas Yadav, had contested the 2002 Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections and lost. Vikas Yadav stands accused of murder.

Ahead of the 2004 Lok Sabha elections Yadav joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. His stay in the party did however become short, due to the overwheling criticism against the BJP for accepting him due to his criminal record. After being expelled from the BJP, Yadav reconstituted his RPD.

As per December 2004, the RPD Uttar Pradesh state office in Lucknow had an unpaid electricity bill amounting to 600 000 Indian rupees.
