The '''Pirate Party''' ({{lang-ar-at|حزب القراصنة|Hizb al-Qarāṣina}}; {{lang-fr|Parti pirate}}) is a small political party in [[Tunisia]] which was formed on 7 April 2012.<ref name="JORT">[http://www.partipirate.tn/site/wp-content/uploads/042Journal-annonces2012.pdf?9d7bd4 ''Journal officiel de la République tunisienne - Annonces légales, réglementaires et judiciaires'', n°42, 7 April 2012, p. 2210]</ref> It is the second Pirate party in Tunisia after the [[Tunisian Pirate Party]].<ref>{{fr icon}} [http://www.webdo.tn/2012/03/13/et-si-on-se-retrouvait-avec-deux-parti-pirate/ Melek Jebnoun, « Et si on se retrouvait avec deux « Parti Pirate » ? », ''Webdo'', 13 March 2012]</ref>

The party achieved notoriety during the [[Tunisian revolution]]. [[Slim Amamou]] briefly held a ministry, the world's first Pirate Party politician ever to do so, before resigning to protest against repressive measures by the interim government.<ref>{{ar icon}} [http://www.partipirate.tn/2012/06/16/historique-parti-pirate-tunisie/ History of the Pirate Party] 16 June 2012.</ref>
