Malaysian United Indigenous Party of Sabah (Malay: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia Sabah), also abbreviated as Sabah BERSATU or Sabah PPBM, is the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU) branch in Sabah, Malaysia.[1]

The branch had effectively split from the central leadership of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party under the leadership of Hajiji Noor in March 2022 and participated in the 2022 general election in alliance with Barisan Nasional, contrary to the mother party which contested in the opposing Perikatan Nasional coalition. The branch suffered a split when Hajiji Noor left the party in December 2022, later lead the 10 years old party named Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah in 2023 to make GRS coalition fully local and autonomous.
