New Progressive Party (NPP) is a Centre-left political party in South Korea. New Progressive party was established by a number of Democratic Labour Party members (known as 'People's Democracy Faction) who left the party in reaction to the dominating Korean nationalist faction.

First party president was Roh Hoe-chan, elected at the 2004 Parliamentary election as a member of the Democratic Labour Party, however not elected again.

NPP failed to take seats in the National Assembly in 2008 general election. At that time, Roh Hoe-chan was expected to win a seat, because he was winning in most of the pre-vote surveys.

NPP looked to take seat at 29 April 2009 by-election. Ulsan Buk-gu was the one of expected to win the seat because of many labour workers live in that area. NPP nominated Cho Seung-soo, former AM in Ulsan Buk-gu, 2005. NPP was negotiating with DLP (Democratic Labour Party) to nominate the Progressive sole candidate before the by-election starts. NPP and DLP finally negotiated the sole candidate and the result was that Cho became the Progressive sole candidate against conservative candidates. In 29 April by-election, Cho beat GNP (Grand National Party) candidate and finally NPP took the one seat.

In 2010 election of local government of mayor of Seoul , Roh Hoe-chan got 3% of citizens. But, Democratic party's Han myung-sook was just behind Oh se-hoon for 1~2% so, her supporters insulted him because he did not retired.

In 2011, Democratic labor party suggested to merge, but in election of party members it declined it for agree of 50%.
