The Yukon New Democratic Party (NDP) is a democratic socialist political party in the Yukon territory of Canada.

The Yukon NDP formed the government of the territory under the leadership of Tony Penikett from 1985 to 1992, and under the leadership of Piers McDonald from 1996 to 2000. The party's current leader is Todd Hardy. The NDP sat as official opposition to the current Yukon Party government in the Yukon Legislative Assembly until May 2006, when NDP defectors to the Yukon Liberal Party gave that party more seats than the NDP. In the 2006 Yukon election later that year, the three incumbent New Democrat Members of the Legislative Assembly were reelected, but the party failed to win any additional seats and remained in third place behind the five members of the Liberal Party and the ten member Yukon Party majority government.

The Yukon NDP is a section of the New Democratic Party of Canada.

(Note - Party politics only began in the Yukon in 1978)
