This article lists political parties in Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea has a multi-party system with numerous political parties, in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.

Political parties in the country are generally based on the personality of their leaders, rather than on any concrete ideology.
