List of political parties in Morocco

This article lists political parties in Morocco.

Morocco has had a multi-party system since independence in 1956 with numerous parties ranging in ideology from the far-left to Islamists. The Moroccan electoral system leads the political parties to seek coalition governments. However, the Prime Minister appointed by the King from the party that achieved a plurality in the parliamentary elections, and other four main cabinet ministers are appointed by the King of Morocco.

Since Morocco considers the disputed territory of Western Sahara to be its Southern Provinces, the political parties are also active in those annexed parts of the territory administered by Morocco.
