The Vooruitstrevende Hervormingspartij (Progressive Reform Party / VHP), formerly known as the "Verenigde Hindoestaanse Partij" (United Hindustani Party), is a political party in Suriname.

At the last legislative elections (25 May 2010), the party was part of the Nieuw Front political combination that won 31.6% of the popular votes and fourteen out of fifty-one seats in the National Assembly. With eight seats, the VHP is currently the biggest opposition party in the Surinamese parliament.
