In the United States, the Old Right, also called the Paleoconservatives are a faction of American conservatives who both opposed Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal leftist programs and were also non-interventionists (isolationists) opposing entry into World War II. Many were associated with the Republicans led by Robert Taft, but some were Democrats.

Notable people include Herbert Hoover, H. L. Mencken, Albert Jay Nock, Rose Wilder Lane, Walter Lippmann, William Randolph Hearst and congressman Howard Buffett (R-Nebraska).
