Rastriya Prajatantra Party, Nepal (Nepali: राष्ट्रिय प्रजातन्त्र पार्टी नेपाल; translation: National Democratic Party Nepal) is a Hindu right-wing, cultural conservative party. It previously existed as royalist political party in Nepal from 2006 to 2016.[2] The party was formed as a splinter of Rastriya Prajatantra Party in 2006 and was later reunified in 2016.[3] The party was reformed in 2022 by Kamal Thapa.

The party supported the restoration of the Hindu kingdom in Nepal under the Shah dynasty.[4] Presently, the party advocates only Hindu nationalism.[5]

The party was registered with the Election Commission of Nepal ahead of the April 2008 Constituent Assembly election for the first time.[6] Ahead of the election, the party sought to form a front of royalist parties.[7]

In the 2013 elections, the party had emerged as the fourth largest party in the Constituent Assembly winning 24 out of 575 seats.
