The Peace Party is a small political party in the United Kingdom. The party was founded in 1996 as the Pacifist Party by a group of activists in Guildford, Surrey.

The party stood one candidate in the 1997 and 2001 general elections, and two in the 2005 election, having broadened their remit to become a national party. It fielded nine candidates in the South East England constituency during the 2004 European election, [cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3726803.stm#peace|title=European elections: The manifestos|work=BBC News|publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation|location=London|date=2004-06-01|accessdate=2008-06-19] gaining 12,572 votes.
