The Peasant Party (Polish: Stronnictwo Chłopskie, pronounced as /pl/) was a Polish political party, active from 1926 to 1931 in the Second Polish Republic. It was created from a faction of Polish People's Party "Wyzwolenie" of Jan Dąbski, the Agrarian Union and People's Unity. It supported the May Coup of Józef Piłsudski in 1926, but then it moved to opposition, with some politicians splitting off in protest. In 1928, it joined the Centrolew coalition. In 1931, it merged back with PSL Wyzwolenie and Polish People's Party "Piast" forming the People's Party.
