The National Popular Alliance or ANAPO (Alianza Nacional Popular) was a political party in Colombia. It was founded in 1961 as a movement by the ex-president Gustavo Rojas Pinilla and was disbanded in 1998. Many ANAPO leaders and militants joined the Independent Democratic Pole coalition.

Anapo's political platform has been labeled as left-wing.[1] Nonetheless, Anapo made it clear that they differ from Communists regarding the rights of private property.
