The National Democrats Party (NDP) was a small right-wing political party in New Zealand, formed in 1999 by Anton Foljambe. It was met with limited success.

The party describes itself as "New Zealand's only conservative political party". It is generally regarded as crypto-fascist, but not racist. Foljambe has run as an election candidate two or three times, with poor results. Kyle Chapman became Deputy Chairman of the NDP, and ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of Christchurch in 2007, pulling approximately 1% of the vote.^[1]

The party's policies include strident anti-communism and anti-feminism, the restoration of capital punishment and corporal punishment and strong national defence. It advocates a "corporatist" constitution, and has a conspiratorial view of world events.

Foljambe resigned from the party in 2007. The party now appears to be defunct. Its website is no longer operational.
