Sinn Féin (/ʃɪn ˈfn/ shin-FAYN;Irish pronunciation: [ʃɪnʲ ˈfʲeːnʲ]; English: Ourselves or We Ourselves) is an Irish republican political party active throughout Ireland.

The Sinn Féin organisation was founded in 1905 by Arthur Griffith. It took its current form in 1970 after a split within the party (with the other side becoming the Workers' Party of Ireland), and has historically been associated with the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA).Gerry Adams has been party president since 1983.

Sinn Féin is the second-largest party (after the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP)) in the Northern Ireland Assembly, where it has four ministerial posts in the power-sharing Northern Ireland Executive, and the third-largest party in the Oireachtas, the parliament of the Republic of Ireland. Sinn Féin received the second highest number of Northern Ireland votes and seats in the 2015 Westminster elections (after the DUP).
