Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party, also known as the Justice Party, is a political party in Australia, registered for federal elections since 14 April 2016. The party is named after its founder, Derryn Hinch, an Australian media personality. Focusing on reforms to the justice system, it believes in a hard-line law-and-order approach, "putting victims above criminals". The party campaigns on prioritising jail sentences over rehabilitation and bail, as well as tougher restrictions on parole. Anti-paedophilia forms another large part of the party’s ideology, owing to Hinch’s background in naming alleged sexual offenders.

It also was registered by the Victorian Electoral Commission in May 2018 and ran candidates in the 2018 Victorian state election.
