The Green Party of Alaska^[3] (GPAK) is a political party in the U.S. state of Alaska. It was the Alaska affiliate of the Green Party of the United States from its founding until 2021. The Green Party of Alaska was the first state to gain Green Party ballot access, in 1990, when Jim Sykes ran for governor. Sykes had previously filed a ballot access lawsuit, citing an earlier case, Vogler v. Miller.

In 2020, the leadership of the Green Party of Alaska refused to place Green Party nominees Howie Hawkins and Angela Nicole Walker on the ballot and instead draft-nominated a ticket with Jesse Ventura for president and Cynthia McKinney for vice-president. McKinney accepted the vice-presidential nomination.^[4] Because of this, the Green Party of the United States national committee voted in January 2021 to decertify the GPAK.^[5][1][2]
