Thai Nation Party (Thai: พรรคชาติไทย Phak Chat Thai) is a conservative political party in Thailand.

In the 2001 elections, Chart Thai won 41 seats and joined a majority coalition with the largest party, Thai Rak Thai. The party lost some ground in the 2005 elections, despite the support of popular massage parlor tycoon-cum-politician Chuwit Kamolvisit. The party won 11.4% of the popular vote and 27 out of 438 seats. The party worked with 2 other main opposition parties to boycott the elections of April 2006 hoping to make it impossible for the new government to form.
