The Nasserist Unionist People's Organisation (Arabic: التظيم الوحدوي الشعبي الناصري, Al-Tantheem Al-Wahdawi Al-Sha'abi Al-Nasseri) is a Nasserist political party in Yemen.

The party was founded in Taiz on December 25, 1965.[1][2] The party was legalized in 1989.[1]

In 1993 the party held its 8th conference. The conference elected an 89-member politburo. Abdul-Malik al-Mikhlafi was elected the new general secretary of the party, replacing Abdul Ghani Thabet. Thabet was general secretary of the party 1990–1993.[1][3]

At the last legislative elections in 2003 the party won 1.85% of the popular vote and 3 out of 301 seats.[3] The party has been a member of the opposition alliance known as the Joint Meeting Parties since its formation in the early 2000s.[4]

The party publishes the newspaper al-Wahdawi.[3]

In 2011, the party has participated in the Yemeni uprising against President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
