The National Congress Party of Afghanistan (Template:PerB - Hezb-e Kongrā-ye Mīllī-ye Afghānestān) is a political party in Afghanistan. The size of the party is not available yet as parliamentary elections were held on a non-partisan basis. The leader of the party is Prof. Dr. Latīf Pedrām, an opponent of the Islamist and Taliban regimes.

The party is largely based on Persian nationalist ideology: opposed to Pashtun nationalist movements in Afghanistan and may be regarded as populist.

The Party's leader, Latif Pedram, was a candidate in Afghanistan's 2004 presidential election and received the fifth most votes.
