This article lists political parties in Panama.

Panama has a multi-party system. Although there are three major political parties, no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.

Parties with less than 30,000 members are not recognized by the Tribunal Electoral, and as a result, they are not able to participate in Panama's general elections.
