The Indonesian Irian Independence Party (Indonesian: Partai Kemerdekaan Indonesia Irian, PKII) was a pro-Indonesian party in Dutch New Guinea. The party was established in 1946 by several pro-Indonesian students as a way to support the integration of Papua into the territory of Indonesia. The party's leader, Silas Papare, was posthumously declared a National Hero of Indonesia on 14 September 1993.
The party's ideology was based on Pancasila and Christianity. The party had a youth wing, the Indonesian Youth Union (Indonesian: Gabungan Pemuda Indonesia, GAPI), which was formed on 28 October 1958.
