The Sarawak National Party (SNAP; Malay: Parti Kebangsaan Sarawak) was a Sarawak-based political party in Malaysia. It was a member party of the Alliance Party from 1963 to 1966 and a member of Barisan Nasional (BN) from 1976 until its expulsion in 2004. It contested the General Election in 2004 as well as the Sarawak state elections of 2006 and 2011 as an opposition party.
The party became a component the then federal opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) coalition in April 2010, lasting only a year when, in April 2011, the party exited the coalition due to seat allocation disagreements with the People's Justice Party (PKR).
Having been initially deregistered on 5 November 2002 by the Registrar of Societies (RoS), the party was finally deregistered on 17 January 2013 after the prior ruling was upheld by the Federal Court of Malaysia due to the party's failure to resolve its leadership crisis.
