The Lithuanian Regions Party (Lithuanian: Lietuvos regionų partija, LRP),^[3] also translated as the Lithuanian Party of Regions, is a political party in Lithuania.^[4] It was founded in 2018 as the Social Democratic Labour Party of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos socialdemokratų darbo partija, LSDDP) following a split of members from Social Democratic Party of Lithuania (LSDP; also joined by former members of the Labour Party) after the LSDP's decision to exit a coalition government with the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union in 2017.^[5]
