The Independence Party was a populist political party in the U.S. state of New York. The party was founded in 1991, and it acquired ballot status in 1994. The party lost its ballot status in 2020 following changes to New York's ballot access requirements. On December 9, 2022, New York governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation banning the use of the words "independent" and "independence" from use in political party names in New York.
