The Conservative Party (Serbian: Конзервативна странка), also known as the Conservatives (Serbian: Конзервативци), was a political organization in the Principality of Serbia.

During its existence, it didn't operate as a political party, but rather as a political organization, since the official registration of political parties was introduced by law in 1881.[1] Its most prominent members were Ilija Garašanin, Toma Vučić Perišić, Jovan Marinović and Nikola Hristić.[2] Their political opponents were the liberals.[3][4][5]
