The Neuquino People's Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Popular Neuquino) is a provincial political party in the province of Neuquén, Argentina.

The party was founded by, amongst others, Carlos Sobisch, Elías Sapag, Felipe Sapag and his brothers, Peronists who had been discriminated against by the military government. It began on 4 June 1961 and has held the Neuquén governorship and many of the local and national legislative positions since then.

At the legislative elections of 23 October 2005 the party won two of the 127 elected national deputies (out of 257). It has two of the three Neuquén senators in the Argentine Senate - Luz Sapag (daughter of Elías Sapag) and Pedro Salvatori - as well as the governor of Neuquén, Jorge Sobisch (son of Carlos Sobisch), current Party leader. The party has seen internal rivalry between the Sapag and Sobisch families, along a left-right political split. As of 2006, Sobisch is a candidate for the presidency of Argentina at the 2007 elections.
