The Ulema National Awakening Party (Indonesian: Partai Kebangkitan Nasional Ulama) was an Islamist political party in Indonesia. The party's main voter base was members of traditionalist Muslim organisation Nahdlatul Ulama. PKNU was established by Indonesian ulemas seeking a new political vehicle to promote Islamic political values outside the National Awakening Party.

The only election that PKNU contested was in 2009, as the party failed to participate in subsequent elections due to failure to satisfy the increasingly rigorous KPU RI criteria.

Following years of electoral vacuum and continued resistance to unite with larger parties, PKNU leaders decided to merge the party with People's Sovereignty Party (Partai Kedaulatan Rakyat) in 2022.[1]
