The Socialist Party of Nepal (Nepali: नेपाल समाजवादी पार्टी) is a democratic socialist political party in Nepal.[4] It is led jointly by former prime minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and leaders of the Terai-Madhesh region Mahindra Ray Yadav and Ramesh Prasad Yadav. [5][6][7]

The party was formed after a split in the People's Socialist Party, Nepal, with some members citing the authoritarian and power-oriented nature of chairman Upendra Yadav as a factor.[8]
