This article lists political parties in Lithuania. Lithuania has a multi-party system with numerous political parties, in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments. As of 2024 [update], there are 21 active political parties, two inactive political parties, and three political parties that are in the process of disestablishment registered with the Ministry of Justice. [1] [2]
As of October 2023 [update], Lithuania has a total of 96,458 people (53% female, 47% male) registered as party members and is experiencing a sharp decline in political congregation, with a 11.85% decrease from the start of public membership tracking in 2018. [2] This is at least partially a result of a low trust in political parties with the institution firmly occupying the top-2 least trusted positions in the country, alongside the Seimas, in opinion polls.

There are currently twelve parties represented in the Seimas. The current government is a broad majority coalition of the Homeland Union - Lithuanian Christian Democrats, Liberal Movement and Freedom Party.
As of 2023 [update], these parties failed to provide relevant documents to be registered for the upcoming elections. [1]
