The Anna Telugu Desam Party (abbr. ATDP) was a regional political party in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It was founded by Nandamuri Harikrishna, the third son of the film star and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder N. T. Rama Rao (NTR) on 26 January 1999. The party was formed following internal differences within the TDP but struggled to make a electoral impact. Harikrishna eventually returned to the TDP in 2006, and ATDP was delisted by the Election Commission of India in 2016.
