TheTurkish Union Party (Turkish:Türk Birliği Partisi, TBP) was a right-wing political party inNorthern Cyprus, led byİsmail Tezer. It represented the interest of Turkish settlers.

The TBP was established in 1979 by retired army officers, and was the Cypriot version of theNationalist Movement Party inTurkey.^[1] It performed poorly in the 1980 local elections and won only a single seat inFamagusta in the1981 National Council elections, taken by Tezer. However, in villages populated by Turkish settlers it received 32% of the vote.^[2]

Prior to the1985 elections the party merged into the newly establishedNew Dawn Party.^[2]

The TBP described itself as anational socialist party. It advocated Northern Cyprus becoming part of Turkey, and courted support from Turkish settlers.^[1] Tezer himself had moved to the island from Turkey after the1974 invasion.^[2]
