Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam (ശ്രീനാരായണ ധർമ്മ പരിപാലന യോഗം), commonly known as S.N.D.P. Yogam (എസ്.എൻ.ഡി.പി. യോഗം), is a foundational social service organisation in Kerala, India. Officially registered under the Companies Act on 15 May 1903, it was founded by Dr. Padmanabhan Palpu. The social reformer Sree Narayana Guru served as its first and lifelong chairman, while the poet Kumaranasan was its first secretary.

The establishment of the Yogam marked the first organised effort for social equality in Kerala and played a pivotal role in the state's renaissance. Its primary objectives were to propagate Guru's ideals, guide oppressed communities towards social and spiritual advancement, and establish educational institutions and monasteries. The organisation grew out of the Vavoottu Yogam, a committee managing the Aruvippuram temple founded by Guru.

Today, the SNDP Yogam is a powerful and influential organisation with a significant presence in Kerala's social and political spheres. Its influence extends globally, with members and branches in the Gulf countries, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
