The Family Party of Germany (German: Familienpartei Deutschlands) is a minor conservative[4] political party in Germany. It has elected members to several local councils in the state of Saarland. In the 2005 federal elections, the Family Party received 0.4% of the popular vote and no seats. The party wants to introduce a right to vote for children carried out by the legal guardians.

In the 2014 European parliament elections, the Family Party received 0.69% of the national vote (202,871 votes in total) and elected one Member of the European Parliament - Arne Gericke,[5] however he later went on to join Freie Wähler in June 2017.[6] In the 2019 European Parliament election, the Family Party slightly increased their vote share, reaching the threshold and electing lead candidate Helmut Geuking as an MEP.
