The '''Non-Partisan Association''' ('''NPA''') is a municipal political party in [[Vancouver]], British Columbia, Canada. It was established by the city's business leaders in 1937 to challenge the [[democratic socialist]] [[British Columbia CCF|Co-operative Commonwealth Federation]] (CCF) in that year's municipal election. The party has historically been described as [[centre-right]] and drawn its strongest support from Vancouver's business community.

In the years following the [[2018 Vancouver municipal election|2018 municipal election]], seven of the NPA's ten elected officials resigned from the party, claiming that it had become right-wing and undemocratic. Several other prominent members, such as the NPA's 2018 mayoral candidate [[Ken Sim]], also resigned. Most of those departing later joined [[ABC Vancouver]] in the run-up to the [[2022 Vancouver municipal election|2022 municipal election]], which saw Sim elected as mayor and the NPA lose all its remaining seats.
