Party of the Iranian Nation (or Nation Party of Iran, Iran Nation Party; Template:Lang-fa) is "a small opposition"[4] party in Iran advocating establishment of a secular democracy.[5] Although the party is technically illegal, it still operates inside Iran.[5]

Founded in 1951 by Dariush Forouhar, the party had a few hundred members, mostly high-school students, and was a member of National Front until the Iranian Revolution, however it did not carry much weight in the leadership of the front.[2] The party proposed rebuilding Iran by regaining its lost territories in Bahrain, Afghanistan and Caucasia, and its platform was based on anti-capitalism, anti-communism, anti-monarchism, anti-Semitism, anti-Bahá'ísm and anti-clericalism.[2]

Popular among high school students in Tehran in the 1950s, the party's membership never exceeded a few hundred people.[6]
