Sabah People's Hope Party (Malay: Parti Harapan Rakyat Sabah (Harapan Rakyat /HR/PHRS) simplified Chinese: 沙巴人民希望党; traditional Chinese: 沙巴人民希望黨) is a Sabah-based party located in Tawau city, founded by Lajim Ukin and Liew Yun Fah. Its ideology is based on Sabah regionalism which supports Sabah state administration by local-based parties and to reduce the control of peninsula-based parties over the state, such as Barisan Nasional, Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional.
First established in 2016, the party was temporarily dissolved in 2019 to allow members to join Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU). In 2020, it was founded once again ahead of snap election.
