The Tobago People's Party (TPP) is a political party in Trinidad and Tobago. It was founded in August 2023 by the Chief Secretary of Tobago Farley Chavez Augustine and is currently the governing party in the Tobago House of Assembly. The party plans to contest the next general election.[2]

The party was formed from 13 Tobago House of Assembly members who had been elected as part of the Progressive Democratic Patriots in the December 2021 snap election. In 2022 they resigned from the PDP leaving the party leader, Watson Duke, as the sole PDP member of the Tobago House of Assembly.[2][3]
