The National Peasants' Party (PNT, Partidul Naţional Ţărănesc) was a political party in Romania, formed in 1926 by the fusion of the National Romanian Party from Transylvania and the Peasants' Party. It was in power with some interruptions between 1928 and 1933. A moderately conservative party, it was staunchly pro-Monarchy.

Many thousands of party members were imprisoned when the party was banned by the Communists in 1947, and both the party leader Iuliu Maniu and his deputy Ion Mihalache died in jail.

The party was resurrected by Corneliu Coposu and Ion Raţiu in December 1989 under the name Partidul Naţional Ţărănesc Creştin şi Democrat (PNŢCD, Christian-Democratic National Peasants' Party). It was the first officially registered political party after the fall of Communism.
