The Victory Party (Turkish: Zafer Partisi, ZP) is a right-wing[18] to far-right,[19][20][21] ultranationalist,[22][23] anti-immigrant[24][25] political party in Turkey founded on 26 August 2021[26] under the leadership of Ümit Özdağ. Party was represented in the Grand National Assembly by a single MP, Özdağ himself, until it failed to pass the electoral threshold in the 2023 election and therefore was barred from winning any seats.[27]

The Victory Party is the continuation of the Ayyıldız Movement (lit.'Star and Crescent Movement') initiated by Ümit Özdağ,[28] which became a youth movement after the establishment of the party. The founding petition of the party was submitted to the Ministry of the Interior on 26 August 2021 and then the party was officially established.[29]
