Mec Vannin (lit. 'Sons of Man')[2] is a political party operating in the Isle of Man. Formed in 1962, it seeks to revoke the status of Man as a British self-governing Crown dependency and establish a completely sovereign state, which would be a republic.
It describes its aims as being:
To achieve national independence for Mann as a sovereign state, based on a republican form of government. To further and safeguard the interests of Mann. To protect the individual and collective rights of its people.

It is alternatively called or subtitled "The Manx Nationalist Party",[4][5] but is not to be confused with the Manx National Party, which was a name used by another party.
