The Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina ( _bs. Stranka za Bosnu i Hercegovinu) is a political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It has been described as 'multi-ethnic', and is led by Haris Silajdžić. Some consider it to be one of the more liberal parties in the Bosnian political spectrum. On the issues of the internal divisions of Bosnia, SBiH wants to eliminate two entities. It is considered a Bosniak nationalist party by the political ruling classes of Republika Srpska.

In April 2006, the Party for BiH along with Croat parties led the opposition to constitutional amendments, which had the support of the main Bosniak and Serb parties as well as the Social Democratic Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This position is likely the reason for their success in the most recent elections.
