The Legitimist Party (Spanish: Partido Legitimista, PL) was a conservative Nicaraguan political party in the 19th century. The power base of the Legitimist Party was in Granada. The Legitimists were opposed to the Democrats.[1][2] After several years of civil war between the Legitimists and the Democrats, a provisional government was established in June 1857 which had as its joint leaders the legitimist Tomás Martínez and the democrat Máximo Jerez.
The Nicaraguan Conservative Party defines itself as a continuation of the Legitimist Party and traces its history back to PLs foundation in 1823.
