Star Alliance Party is a political party in Papua New Guinea.

It first applied for party registration in 2006, and contested the 2007 election, endorsing 72 candidates but winning no seats.[2][3]

It won one seat at the 2012 election, with the election of Mehrra Kipefa in Obura-Wonenara Open.[4][5] The party was reported to have crossed from the government into opposition in July 2016 and supported a no-confidence vote in Prime Minister Peter O'Neill; however, Kipefa crossed to the United Resources Party by November 2016, leaving the party once again unrepresented in parliament.[6][7][8]
