The People Party (Korean국민의당; lit. Party of Nationals; PP) was a political party in South Korea. The party was founded by Ahn Cheol-soo in February 2020, after leaving the Bareunmirae Party.[13] It has the same name as the People Party, which was also founded by Ahn and existed from 2016 to 2018.

In the 2020 South Korean legislative election, the party won three representatives for the National Assembly.

The People Party dissolved in April 2022 after merging with the conservative People Power Party.[2]
