The National Awakening Party (Indonesian: Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa; lit. 'Party of the Nation's Awakening'), frequently abbreviated to PKB, is an Islam-based[6][7] political party in Indonesia. It is also the party of the former Vice President of Indonesia, Ma'ruf Amin, who was elected to its Shura Council.

The party was founded in 1999 by the traditionalist strand of Muslim society in Indonesia, which overlaps with the membership of Nahdlatul Ulama.[8] The party is described as a nationalist Muslim party, which promotes inclusive and nationalist principles and upholds Pancasila doctrine.[6]

In 2014, the party obtained 9.04 percent of the popular vote, which is an increase from 4.95 percent in 2009 but lower than 10.57 percent in 2004.[6] The party is currently led by Muhaimin Iskandar.
