The People First Party (Hangul국민중심당; Hanja國民中心黨; RR: Gungmin Jungsim-dang; MR: Kungmin Chungsim-dang), was a political party in South Korea, led by Sim Dae-pyung and Shin Kook-hwan. Its profile was center-right conservative. The party was based in the central provinces of Chungcheong. The group absorbed the small opposition United Liberal Democrats also based in the region. It had five seats in the South Korean parliament.

On February 12, 2008,the People's First Party announced that it was merging with the Liberty Forward Party led by Lee Hoi-chang. Because the new party took the Liberty Forward Party name, the party was essentially dissolved.
