Khostug Tyva () was a political party in Tuva which existed from 1989 until the late 1990s. Originally established as the People's Front of Tuva (), Khostug Tyva led the anti-Russian riots that resulted in the flight of most of the republic's ethnic Russian population, as well as later efforts to achieve independence from Russia.
After its legalisation in on 10 June 1992, Khostug Tuva began advocating for a referendum on the separation of Tuva from Russia. The party supported measures to increase affordable housing for rural Tuvan migrants to the capital, Kyzyl, and successfully pushed the population to oppose the 1993 Russian constitutional referendum, on the basis of opposition to private ownership of land.
Khostug Tyva was also connected to nationalist groups from Khakassia and the Altai Republic, and united with the Khakas Çon çobį party to form the Association of Peoples of Southern Siberia on 17 June 1993. The political alliance argued for inhabitants of Russian republics to receive greater rights, as well as for the Pan-Turkism.
Khostug Tyva dissolved itself at some point during the late 1990s.
