Shivsena Nepal (Nepali: शिवसेना नेपाल; translation: Shiva's Army of Nepal) is a political party in Nepal. It was founded in 1990 by Arun Subedi, in response to the growing demands for secularism following the Jana Andolan movement.
Unlike the Nepal Shivsena, Shivsena Nepal mainly identifies as a religious organisation. While Nepal Shivsena has ties to the Indian Shiv Sena, Shivsena Nepal denies such affiliations.
The party was registered with the Election Commission of Nepal ahead of the 2008 Constituent Assembly election.
When the Taliban began destroying ancient Buddhist artefacts, both Nepal Shiv Sena and Shivsena Nepal strongly condemned the attacks.
