The Independent Politics Netherlands (Dutch: Onafhankelijke Politiek Nederland, OPNL), formerly known as the Independent Senate Group (Onafhankelijke Senaatsfractie, OSF), is a federation of local and regional political parties in the Netherlands that competes in elections to the Dutch Senate. OPNL is composed of provincial- and municipal-level parties, and has no individual members.[1]

OPNL only contests the elections for the Senate, where it represents regional politics. Auke van der Goot, a member of the Frisian National Party, represents OPNL in the Senate.
