Bahujana Nidahas Peramuna (Mass Freedom Front) is a political party in Sri Lanka that was formed by Chandrika Kumaratunga when she broke away from Sri Lanka Mahajana Pakshaya. In 1993 Kumaratunga returned to SLFP; however, BNP continued to live on as a separate political party.

In the 1999 presidential elections, BNP nominated Alwis Weerakkody as their candidate.
