The True Slovak National Party, also translated as Real Slovak National Party (Pravá Slovenská národná strana), was a minor extreme^[1] far-right political party in Slovakia. During its short existence, it failed to become a parliamentary party due to a low popular support.

In 2001, the internal conflicts within the Slovak National Party (SNS) led to a split, by shuting out Ján Slota and 7 other MPs of the SNS, whom founded the True Slovak National Party in late 2001. The founding congress elected unanimously Ján Slota chairman of the party.

At the 20 and 21 September 2002 legislative elections, the party won 3.7% of the popular vote and no seats. Since that time, the party merged with the SNS, wich elected Ján Slota chairman.
