The Russian Party of Life (Российская партия жизни, Rossiyskaya Partiya Zhizni) is a political party in Russia, led by Sergey Mironov (Speaker of the Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian parliament). According to its website, the party is liberal on economic issues and nationalistic on everything else. Its headquarters are located in Moscow.

At the last legislative elections, 7 December 2003, the alliance of the Party of Russia's Rebirth and the Russian Party of Life party won only 1.9 % of the popular vote and no seats, despite attracting to its list a number of Russian celebrities, most famously Oxana Fedorova.

The Russian Party of Life merged with Rodina and the Russian Pensioners' Party into a new party, Fair Russia, on 28 October 2006.
