The Conservative Christian Party of the Belarusian People's Front (Russian:Консервативно-христианская партия — БНФ
Belarusian:Кансэрватыўна-Хрысьціянская Партыя - БНФ, Kanservatyŭna-Chryścijanskaja Partyja BNF), is a political party in Belarus, that opposes the government of president Alexander Lukashenko. It was formed by a wing of the Belarusian People's Front in 1999.

The last legislative elections, 13–17 October 2004, was boycotted by the party, led by Zianon Pazniak. These elections fell according to the OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission [1] significantly short of OSCE commitments. Universal principles and constitutionally guaranteed rights of expression, association and assembly were seriously challenged, calling into question the Belarusian authorities' willingness to respect the concept of political competition on a basis of equal treatment. According to this mission principles of an inclusive democratic process, whereby citizens have the right to seek political office without discrimination, candidates to present their views without obstruction, and voters to learn about them and discuss them freely, were largely ignored.

Conservative Christian Party refuses to join in the oppositional coalition led by Alaksandar Milinkievič.
