The National Students Federation (NSF) is a left-wing student organization in Pakistan. It was founded in 1956 as the successor to the Democratic Students Federation (DSF), which had been banned for its alleged ties to the Communist Party of Pakistan.

Initially dominated by Marxist currents, the NSF later split into Marxist and Maoist factions during the 1960s.
