The Galician People's Party (in Galician:Partido Popular Galego) was a Galicianist political party of the first years of the Spanish democracy.

It was founded in July of 1976 as a result of the union of the Democratic Union of Galicia, directed by Xaime Illa Couto, and Galician Democratic Left, directed by Fernando García Agudín.

They participated in the activities of the Democratic Christian Equipe of the Spanish State, but they didn't entered in it. In the general elections of 1977 it allied with the Galician Social-Democratic Party. It disappeared in 1979. Some of its militants entered in the Partido Galeguista and other of them in the Democratic Center Union.
