This article lists political parties that have existed in Egypt from the 19th century to the present.
In less than ten years, there was a great variety in these parties; in their nature, formation, organization, power, their popular base and platforms.
During 1923–1952, Egypt witnessed a remarkable experience rich in political and democratic practices, however, such an experience was marked with many defects such as the British occupation, foreign intervention in Egypt's affairs and the royal palace's interference in political life.
This was in turn superseded by similar parties, centred on supporting the government and President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
It remained so under Nasser's successor Anwar El Sadat, for the first seven years of his rule, before multiparty elections were allowed again in 1977.
