The New National Party (Dutch: Nieuwe Nationale Partij, abbr. NNP) was a Dutch nationalist political party which existed between 1998 and 2005. It succeeded the Volksnationalisten Nederland (abbr. VNN, People's Nationalists Netherlands) party which had been founded in 1997. The NNP was originally named Nationale Partij Nederland (abbr. NPN, National Party Netherlands) but because another party had used a similar name earlier the name was rejected by the Electoral Council (Dutch: Kiesraad).
