The National Party (Partido Nacional in Spanish), also known as the White Party (Partido Blanco), is a major liberal conservative political party in Uruguay, currently the major opposition party to the ruling Frente Amplio government. Together with the dominant Colorado Party, it is one of the two traditional groupings dating back to the nineteenth century.

At the last 2004 national elections, the National Party won 36 seats out of 99 in the Chamber of Deputies and 11 seats out of 31 in the Senate. Its presidential candidate, Jorge Larrañaga, obtained the same day 35.1 % of the valid, popular vote.

After 93 years in opposition, the Partido Nacional won the November 30, 1958 elections. The Blancos went on to be reelected in 1962. The member of the National Party who has most recently been President of Uruguay is Luis Alberto Lacalle (1990-1995). The Colorado Party has been in power in Uruguay much more often than the National Party.
