The New Slovenia – Christian People's Party or simply New Slovenia, NSi (Slovenian Nova Slovenija – Krščanska ljudska stranka or Nova Slovenija) is a Christian democratic political party in Slovenia. At the last legislative elections, 21 September 2008, the party won 3.4 % of the popular vote and did not win any seats in the 90-seat parliament.

In August 2008, a group of party members disappointed with the leadership of Andrej Bajuk, whom they accused of following excessive liberal policies, left New Slovenia and formed a new party, the Christian Democratic Party, however they also failed to achieve any success, managing only 0.68% of the vote.

Until recently it was led by Andrej Bajuk, forming part of the Janez Janša-lead government. After the elective failure of 2008 Bajuk announced his immediate resignation and retirement from politics. The acting president, pending a party congress, is Ljudmila Novak.

NSi is a member of the European People's Party (EPP) and in the European Parliament its MEP Lojze Peterle sit in the EPP Group.
