This article lists political parties in Ukraine. On January 25, 2009 there were 161 parties registered with the Ministry of Justice;[1] as of July 15, 2009 there were 172 political parties registered.[1][2]

Ukraine has a multi-party system with numerous political parties, in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.

Many parties in Ukraine have very small memberships and are unknown to the general public. Small parties often join in multi-party coalitions (electoral blocks) for the purpose of participating in parliamentary elections. Ukrainian society's trust of political parties is very low overall.[3]

According to former Ambassador of Germany to Ukraine (2000-2006) Dietmar Studemann, personalities are more important in Ukrainian politics than ideological platforms. "Parties in the proper meaning of this word do not exist in Ukraine so far. A party for Germans is its platform first, and its personalities later."[4]
