The Pacific Green Party of Oregon is a political party in the state of Oregon that is a member of the US federation of state green parties, the Green Party of the United States.

The party first gained widespread public attention during Ralph Nader's presidential run in 2000.

Pacific Green Party candidates have won elected office mostly at the local level; most winners of public office in Oregon who are considered Greens have won nonpartisan-ballot elections (that is, elected to positions for which no candidate is listed with any party on the ballot.[citation needed]

Pacific Greens emphasize grassroots democracy, social justice, nonviolence, environmentalism, decentralization and local autonomy, in keeping with the Green parties' endorsement of the Ten Key Values (10KV).
