The Parti nul (French pronunciation: [paʁti nyl], Null Party) is a political party in the Canadian province of Quebec. The party bills itself as a protest party, a way for citizens to show their displeasure at the existing political structure in the province.1 It was founded after the 2008 provincial election on 9 April 2009.

Its name is a play on words; the similar-sounding phrase partie nulle means draw (in the sense of the result of a game at the conclusion of which none of the players win) in French.
