National Trust Party (Persian: حزب اعتماد ملی, translit. Ḥezb-e Eʿtemād-e Mellī, also translated as National Confidence Party) is an Iranian political party based on reformist and populist message.
It was established in 2005 by former Parliament speaker Mehdi Karroubi following his defeat in 2005 presidential election.
The party has opposed dictating the state religion in Iran and called for an amendment for the constitution of Iran that would limit absolute power of Supreme leader, while endorsing Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist. In foreign policy, it wants détente with the United States.
According to Muhammad Sahimi, the party and has tried to attract the disaffected reformists who are not happy with the Participation Front, Mojahedin, or the Executives of Construction and "is more like a moderate right-wing party than a true reformist/democratic organization".
