The Malaysian United Indigenous Party (Malay: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia), abbreviated BERSATU or PPBM, is a nationalist political party in Malaysia.[1] The party was preceded by the United Indigenous Association of Malaysia (Persatuan Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia). It is a major component party within the Perikatan Nasional coalition. BERSATU was approved and registered on 14 January 2017 by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) and the use of the BERSATU logo was authorized by the Malaysian Election Commission (SPR). The party held the Prime Ministerial position as well as the majority of positions in the cabinet from May 2020 to August 2021.[8] The party's founding members came from the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and Barisan Nasional rebel group Gabungan Ketua Cawangan Malaysia in 2016.

Full membership in the party is limited to only Bumiputeras (indigenous communities of Malaysia). Non-Bumiputeras can join the party as associate members, although they are not eligible to vote and run in party elections.[9] However, qualified individuals can be appointed to certain key party posts.

In the future 2024 leadership election for PPBM, which is considered by many as crucial to the party's progression, former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin will contested in a three-cornered fight, with former home minister Hamzah Zainudin, and former senior minister Mohamed Azmin Ali.
