The Northern Ireland Conservatives is a section of the United Kingdom's Conservative Party that operates in Northern Ireland. The Conservative are the only major British party to field candidates within Northern Ireland and typically contests only a fraction of seats in elections. The party won 0.03% of the vote in the 2022 Northern Ireland Assembly election and 0.7% of the vote in the 2019 United Kingdom General election in Northern Ireland.

In 2009–2010, the party was in an electoral alliance with the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), whereby the two parties fielded joint candidates for the 2009 European Parliament election and 2010 UK general election under the banner of "Ulster Conservatives and Unionists – New Force".[2]
