Innovation and Unity Party (Spanish: Partido Innovación y Unidad, PINU) is a centre-left political party in Honduras, established in 1970. PINU was created by Miguel Andonie Fernández as a democratic, moderate left-wing alternative to the two major parties and the military régime.

At Congressional elections held 25 November 2001, PINU won 4 seats in the 128-member assembly. In the presidential contest the same day, Olban Valladares placed third in a five-man field, taking about 1.5% of the vote.
