The Good Governance Party (民政党, Minseitō) was a Japanese political party which was in existence for a short period in early 1998. It was a centrist, reformist party that merged with other parties in April 1998 to form the Democratic Party of Japan.[1]

There was an earlier pre-war Minseitō party, the Rikken Minseitō which existed from 1927 to 1940.
