The National People's Party (NPP) (Urdu: نیشنل پیپلز پارٹی) was a political party located in Pakistan (most active in the province of Sindh and southern parts of Punjab). It was founded in 1986 by Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi after he had a disagreement with Benazir Bhutto, subsequently leaving the Pakistan Peoples Party.
In the 2008 Pakistani general elections, the party only managed to win one seat in the National Assembly. Ghulam Mustafa's son Ghulam Murtaza Khan Jatoi won the election in NA-211 Naushahro Feroze-I, holding the seat won in 2002 elections by Dr. Abdul Ghaffar Khan Jemms under the National Alliance banner. The party also won four provincial seats, all in the Sindh province.
In May 2013, the party merged with the Pakistan Muslim League (N).
It was later merged in GDA in 2018, when its leader Ghulam Murtaza Jatoi joined GDA before 2018 general elections.
