The Party of Tatar National Independence İttifaq or Ittifak (Tatar: Татар милли бәйсезлек партиясе "Иттифак", Tatar Milli Bäysezlek Partiäse "İttifaq", Russian: Тататрская партия национальой независимости "Иттифак") is a political party founded in the Tatar ASSR in April, 1990, and officially registered on January 3, 1992. Ittifaq was the first non-communist party in Tatarstan. It is commonly referred to as a Tatar nationalist party. It was named in honour of Ittifaq al-Muslimin, a pre-revolutionary Muslim political party represented in the parliament (Duma) of the czarist Russia.

The aims, as claimed by the party, are:

  • revival of the Tatar nation
  • restoring Tatar statehood
  • recognition of the Tatar state as an international entity.
  • The permanent leader of the Ittifaq party is Fäwziä Bäyrämova. She has been leading the party for more than 20 years. The party published its own newspaper - Altın Urda - from 1993 to 1998.
