The Bavaria Party (German: Bayernpartei) is a political party in the state of Bavaria in southern Germany. It was founded in 1946 and describes itself as patriotic Bavarian, advocating Bavarian independence within the European Union. Together with the Christian Social Union it can be seen as an heir to the Bavarian People's Party which existed prior to World War II. After some successes at the polls in the late 1940s and 1950s, the party rapidly lost voters. It still exists but was last elected to the Bavarian state parliament in 1962. The current chairman of the party is Andreas Settele.
