The New Rights Party (NRP) (Georgian: ახალი მემარჯვენეები, romanized: akhali memarjveneebi), also translated as New Conservative Party (NCP), was a political party in Georgia. It was an associate member of the International Democrat Union and applicant of the European People's Party.

On 8 December 2008, the New Rights Party joined the Republican Party of Georgia in a new opposition alliance.[3] Both parties united in "The Alliance for Georgia" led by Irakli Alasania, Georgia's ex-envoy to the United Nations in February 2009.[4]

Following the establishment of Lelo for Georgia political party in 2019, both David Usupashvili's Development Movement and the New Rights Party merged with the new party and became part of Lelo for Georgia.[5]
