The Parti de l'Ordre (literally Party of Order) was a French conservative political party that existed during the Second Republic.

The party won an absolute majority in the 1849 general election and were opposed to the Presidency of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte. After the coup d'etat in December 1851, the party dissolved and its members exiled.

The party enjoyed widespread support in the north of France- in the 1849 elections, the departments of Finistère, Côtes-du Nord, Manche, Calvados, Eure, Somme, Aisne as well as Deux-Sèvres, Vienne, Vaucluse, and Haute-Garonne returned exclusively Parti de l'Ordre members to parliament. Support was lower in the east of the country.
