Trumpet of Patriots (TOP) is a right-wing populist political party in Australia. It is registered with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) as well as in New South Wales for local government elections and the Northern Territory for parliamentary elections.

The party has its origins in the Country Alliance, which was founded in 2004 by four rural Victorians and renamed to the Australian Country Party (ACP) in 2015. In 2020, the ACP changed its name to the Australian Federation Party (AFP), also known as AusFeds. Trumpet of Patriots was formed in 2021 but was unable to achieve AEC registration on its own, and it merged with the Federation Party in 2024.

In February 2025, the billionaire Clive Palmer, founder and chairman of the United Australia Party (UAP), took over Trumpet of Patriots after he was unable to re-register the UAP for the 2025 federal election. Palmer became TOP's chairman, while Suellen Wrightson became the party's leader and unsuccessfully contested the electorate of Hunter.
