The Nationalist Alternative (NA), also known as the Australian Nationalist Alternative, is a minor Australian nationalist political party, mainly active during the 2010s. Sitting on the far-right of the political spectrum, NA was heavily associated with other groups like the Lads Society and the True Blue Crew, as well as holding affiliations with anti-Islam activists, particularly the Bendigo mosque protests.

The party's website state of its objectives: “reaffirming Australian culture and restoring the sovereignty and independence of the Australian nation.”
