Tverrpolitisk folkevalgte ("cross-political people's choice"), previously known as Tverrpolitisk kyst- og distriktsparti ("Cross-political coastal and regional party") is a minor political party in Norway. The party emerged from the relatively small stratum of conservative EU-critics during the 1994 Norwegian EU referendum who would not play along with the pro-EU politics of the main conservative party Høyre. Harald B. Haram was party chairman until his death in 2002, when his son Harald O. Haram took over.

Steinar Bastesen was elected to Stortinget on their ticket in 1997, but soon left the party to form Kystpartiet, for which he spent his second period.
