The Lithuanian People's Party (Lithuanian: Lietuvos liaudies partija) is a political party in Lithuania. The party has had seven representatives at the municipal level[4] but no seats in either the Seimas or EP. The leader of the party, Kazimira Prunskienė, was the first prime minister of independent Lithuania.[5]

The party signed a cooperation agreement with the biggest party in Russia, United Russia,[6] soon after its establishment and has been in active collaboration ever since.
