The Bavaria Party (, BP) is an autonomist, regionalist and conservatism political party in the state of Bavaria, Germany. The party was founded in 1946, describes itself as patriotic Bavarian and advocates for greater Bavarian autonomy or independence from Germany, while potentially remaining within the European Union. Together with the Christian Social Union (CSU), it can be seen as an heir to the Bavarian People's Party (BVP) which existed prior to the Nazi takeover. The party is a member of the European Free Alliance.
Later, mainly caused by the casino affair, which was influenced by the CSU and its general secretary Friedrich Zimmermann, the Bavaria Party rapidly lost voters. It still exists but was last elected to the Bavarian state parliament in 1962.
In the 2008 local elections, however, the party won 50 seats (compared to 32 in 2002), mostly in Upper Bavaria, including one of the 80 seats in the City Council of Munich, the capital of Bavaria, after 42 years of absence there. The Bavaria Party won one seat in the District Parliament of Upper Bavaria. European Free Allianz, Bavaria Party local election
