Proletariat Political Institute (Chinese: 普羅政治學苑) is a political organisation and school headed by Wong Yuk-man, former member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. It was first established by Wong in 2010 as a political educational institute within the League of Social Democrats (LSD), a pro-democratic social democratic party where Wong was the then chairman. It quit the LSD under Wong's leadership and became one of the coalition members of the radical democratic party People Power in 2011. It left the People Power in 2013 and became one of the leading organisations for the localist cause in Hong Kong.
Proletariat Political Institute was first created in 2010 as a political school of the League of Social Democrats, a pro-democratic social democratic party where Wong was the then chairman. It aimed to train young members on political theory, speech making, district work and public policy research for nurturing the vision for youth.
Proletariat Political Institute quit the LSD when Wong and another legislator Albert Chan Wai-yip split with the LSD in 2011, due to their dissatisfaction with the policies of the then chairman Andrew To Kwan-hang and its faction, especially To's decision not to spinning the Democratic Party, the flagship pro-democratic party, which negotiated with the Beijing government in secret and supported the government's reform proposal.
It became one of the coalition members of the People Power with Power Voters supported by Stephen Shiu Yeuk-yuen, the owner of the Hong Kong Reporter, the re-grouped Frontier and the two pro-Taiwan organisations China Youth Organization and Democratic Alliance when it was established in 2011. The People Power fiercely attacked the Democratic Party in the 2011 District Council election and 2012 Legislative Council election.
