The Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah or PBRS (United Sabah People's Party) is a minority political party based in Sabah, Malaysia. It was formed by disaffected members of the United Sabah Party (PBS) on 11 March 1994. On 10 June 1994, it was officially accepted as one of the component parties in the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition. Currently, it is led by President, Joseph Kurup.

On 12 May 2018, the party's president Joseph Kurup said they decided to quit BN as did by fellow United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO) but it was only confirmed after an announcement was made to the public after getting the greenlight from its Supreme Council.[1][2][3] PBRS applied to join Pakatan Harapan (PH) so as to ensure its promises can be fulfilled. As such application was later ignored, in addition to the statement of Sabah PKR chief Christina Liew Chin Jin that PBRS has a 'very slim chance' to be a part of PH, PBRS decided to return to BN.[4]
