The Australian Protectionist Party (APP) is a minor nationalist political party in Australia. The party stated that it had been formed to fill the void of a pro-Australian party within the political arena based on traditional values.[3]

The APP was formed in 2007 as a splinter organization of the Australia First Party, party led by Jim Saleam.[7] The party was registered as a federal political party with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on 18 January 2011[1][8] and de-registered on 18 June 2015.[9][10] The party continues to have an active website and seeks donations. Its current officeholders are not disclosed and its address is given as a PO box in Tasmania.
