The Timorese Nationalist Party (Indonesian: Partai Nasionalis Timor; Portuguese: Partido Nacionalista Timorense; PNT) is a political party in East Timor.

In the parliamentary election held on 30 August 2001, the party won 2.2% of the popular vote and 2 out of 88 seats.[citation needed] In the parliamentary election held on 30 June 2007, the PNT won 2.42% of the vote, and did not win any seats in parliament, as it did not reach the 3% threshold to win seats.[1]

The party supported Timorese autonomy within Indonesia prior to the 1999 East Timorese independence referendum.
