Republican Party (Norway) (1814: Norwegian Independence)

The Republican Party (Landsmål: Republikanske Parti, RP) was a Republican, Progressive and early Socialist political party in Norway, formed in 1851. One of the party's most influencial leaders was the labour movement leader Marcus Thrane. The goals of the Republican Party was to declare a republic in Norway, to give democratic rights to all adult men and make better conditions for the workers and farmers in the country.

Because of its goals, the party faced often huge opposition from both the Separatists and Unionists. In the first election after the party's establishment, they where denied participation and was considered a unconstitutional party. But when it was allowed to participate, the party managed to win many seats in the parliament. It was the most powerful around 1860, but that power dwindled when prince Valdemar of Denmark was crowned as king Magnus VIII, ending the time where Norway and Denmark had the same monarch, in 1863.

The Republican Party later disbanded in the 1870s with many of its members later becoming members of the Labour Party.
