This article lists political parties in Samoa. As of 2020, Samoa has 6 officially recognized political parties, the ruling Human Rights Protection Party, the Tautua Samoa Party, the Samoa First Party, and the Samoa National Democratic Party.[1] In May 2020 a fifth party, the Tumua ma Puleono, registered for the elections,[2] and in July 2020, another (Fa'atuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi) did as well.

Despite political parties being present in the country, ideologies and manifestos remain relatively fluid, with local connections and matai holding great/more influence in convincing voters to support a particular candidate over party affiliation in many instances.
