Christian Unity Party (Norwegian: Kristent Samlingsparti, KSP)[1] is a conservative political party in Norway without parliamentary representation.

The party was founded on 26 September 1998[2] with the merging of Christian Conservative Party and the New Future Coalition Party, the first originating from a conservative branch of the Christian Democratic Party and the latter from the Progress Party. Their ideology is based upon Christianity, literal interpretation of the Bible, and opposition to reforms in the Norwegian Church.
