The National Party (Dalish: Nationalpartiet), or simply National, is a centre-right conservative political party in Norden. The party, led by Magnus Kjærsgaard since 2014 is currently the largest party within the Folkekammer and the current governing party of the nation.

Formed in 1920 by Ulrik Graversen, the National Party has historically dominated elections within Norden, having won a majority in all-but 5 elections since the implementation of universal suffrage in 1918. Though traditionally a conservative party, the National party has traditionally encompassed a relatively wide range of views, particularly in regards to economic policy. In contrast with many other conservative parties throughout Aurorum, the National Party does not maintain a firm commitment to laissez-faire economics, instead advocating for elements of economic interventionism, particularly in regards to natural monopolies. Nevertheless, in terms of social policy, the party is ardently social conservative, opposing the legalisation of gay marriage and upholding the virtues of traditional institutions such as the Nordic Semitar Church.
