"Nazi Punk" is the term given to believers of: Nationalism, Fascism, Racialism, and/or National Socialism and also claim to be a part of the Punk subculture.

The history of this faction within Punk dates back to 1977 England where small bands formed (following the emergence of bands like the Sex Pistols) who claimed the Punk label but would preach "White Power" messages within their songs and were active members of White Nationalist organizations such as The National Front. Although none of these bands made a big impact in the subculture's early stages, they planted the seeds of Hate within the Punk scene.

Later, the "White Power Skinhead" scene took over as the leaders of the White Nationalist music movement. However, Nazi Punk started sparking up world-wide and eventually hit America by the 1980s during the rise of the American Hardcore Punk scene. This was the inspiration for the Dead Kennedy's song "Nazi Punks Fuck Off!".

Although the numbers of Nazi Punks have always been small within the subculture, it should be noted that it has always existed.
