DemocracyNZ was a political party in New Zealand. The party was established and led by former National Party MP Matt King following the anti-vaccination occupation at parliament. The party claimed to be centrist and stand for democracy, equality, and unity for New Zealanders. Its public statements were focused on opposition to New Zealand's pandemic response and to climate change regulations.
On 12 October 2022, the party's registration was approved by the Electoral Commission. It contested the 2023 New Zealand general election, receiving 0.23% of the party vote and winning no electorates, so did not enter parliament.
The party was deregistered at its own request in February 2024.
