The British National Party (BNP) is a British political party. Though it is generally described as being on the right wing of politics, it espouses a number of fiscally left-wing policies. For example, although it is in favour of repatriating non-white people from the UK, it also favours substantial government involvement in the economy. Other BNP policies include the reintroduction of capital punishment for murder, rape and paedophilia, the introduction of corporal punishment for vandals and 'hoodies' and the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. The BNP also supports the recriminalisation of homosexuality.

During the 1980s and 1990s, the BNP had strong ties to Neo-Nazi and anti-semitic groups. However the party has now accepted Jewish members and instead focuses on the 'islamification' of Britain and is actively hostile towards Muslims and Islam in general. Chairman Nick Griffin described Islam as a 'wicked, vicious faith'.

The BNP's representation in the UK is entirely at the local level. It has no representatives in Parliament, nor in any of Britain's regional legislatures or the European Parliament.

The BNP's current leader is Nick Griffin.
