The Third Position Party (Spanish: Partido Tercera Posición; P3P) is a minor Peronist political party in Argentina. It was founded in 2015 by congresswoman Graciela Camaño and union leader Luis Barrionuevo [es] as a split from the Justicialist Party.[8][9] It supported Sergio Massa's unsuccessful presidential bid in 2015,[10] and it is currently part of the Federal Consensus coalition.[11] As Camaño is a sitting member of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, the party has representation at the federal level.

The party's electoral debut was in 2013, when Barrionuevo ran for Congress in his native Catamarca in coalition with the Renewal Front; Barrionuevo was not elected.[12] Since then, only Camaño has achieved electoral wins at the federal level, securing a seat in Buenos Aires Province in 2015 and 2019.
