List of political parties in Lithuania

This article lists political parties in Lithuania. Lithuania has a multi-party system with numerous political parties, in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments. As of March 2025^[update], there are 22 active political parties, one party undergoing formal registration, one inactive political party, and one political party that are in the process of disestablishment registered with the Ministry of Justice.^[1]

As of March 2025^[update], Lithuania has a total of 98,493 people registered as party members and is experiencing a sharp decline in political congregation,^[2] with a 9.99% decrease from the start of public membership tracking in 2018.^[1] This is at least partially a result of a low trust in political parties with the institution firmly occupying the least trusted position in the country, with only a single digit percentage of representative population expressing support in opinion polls.^[3][4]
