The Sawbranian Republican Party (Sawbranian: Ssavbrʎnieᴋ Republikanɛ Partʎ) is a political party in Sawbrania. It is the largest party in Sawbrania, both by membership and seats within the National Council, and has governed Sawbrania since the collapse of the Socialist Republic of Sawbrania in 1995. The party was formed by non-communist, economically liberal members of the Communist Party of Sawbrania who split off from the party to form a non-communist party shortly after the collapse of communism in Sawbrania.

The president of Sawbrania, Heinrich Koch is a founding member of the Sawbranian Republican Party, and has been a member since his election. The party's ideology has been inconsistent, and broadly supports politicians supportive of Koch. The party's general ideology, however, has centred around economic liberalism, national conservatism, and nationalism. Though the party is de facto right-wing in its policies, the party has attained a big-tent voting base by appealing to non-partisan, non-ideological voters, and voters nostalgic for the times of the socialist republic.

The Sawbranian Republican Party has come under criticism by Sawbrania's opposition parties unrepresented in the National Council, with these parties accusing the SRP of democratic backsliding, governing through undemocratic means, and rigged elections. Members and supporters of the SRP have denied these accusations.
