Patriota (Portuguese pronunciation: [patɾiotɐ], lit. 'Patriot'), abbreviated PATRI and formerly known as the National Ecological Party (Portuguese: Partido Ecológico Nacional, abbreviated PEN), was a right-wing to far-right political party in Brazil. It was registered in the Superior Electoral Court in the summer of 2012. The last president of the party was the former State Deputy of São Paulo Adilson Barroso, who before creating PEN was a member of the Social Christian Party. The party's Superior Electoral Court identification number was 51.

Its platform involved support for conservative policies, a strong national military policy, zero tolerance politics regarding violence and crime, support for the Brazilian agrarian sector, and rejection of social and indigenous movements like the Landless Workers' Movement as well as an anti-communist stance. It stated it is against corruption in Brazil, and seeks to uphold traditional values based on Christian ethics. The party had links with the Assemblies of God, the largest Christian evangelical denomination in Brazil.

After the 2022 Brazilian general elections, Patriota failed to break through the electoral threshold, thus cutting access to party subsidies and free political advertisement. Thus, in November 2023 it merged with the Brazilian Labour Party to form the Democratic Renewal Party.^[9]
