Servant of the People (Ukrainian: Слуга народу, romanized: Sluha narodu, pronounced [sɫʊˈɦa nɐˈrɔdʊ]) is a liberal, centrist, pro-European political party in Ukraine.

It was formed in late 2017 and was officially registered on 31 March 2018 on the basis of the previously registered Party of Decisive Changes.[9][10][11] The party is named after the Ukrainian TV series Servant of the People.[12][11] In the 2019 parliamentary election the party won 124 seats on the nationwide party list and 130 constituency seats.[13] The current president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy (who starred in Servant of the People) is a member of the party.
