Homeland Solidarity Party (abbrev: STAR; {{langx|ms|Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku }}) is a Sabah-based political party in Malaysia. The party was founded on 1 July 2016 by Joseph Pairin Kitingan's brother Jeffrey.{{cite news |url=http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/jeffrey-kitingan-announces-new-party-name-disavows-partnership-in-saksama|title=Jeffrey Kitingan announces new party name, disavows partnership in Saksama|author=Julia Chan|newspaper=The Malay Mail|date=14 July 2016|access-date=25 October 2016}} STAR Party was one of four founding parties of the United Sabah Alliance (USA) founded in 2016, United Alliance of Sabah (UAOS) founded in 2018, and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) founded in 2020, the other being the Sabah People's Ideas Party (GAGASAN), Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and United Sabah Party (PBS).

The party entered into an alliance with Barisan Nasional coalition after the 2018 Sabah state election and formed the state government.{{cite news |url=http://www.theborneopost.com/2018/05/10/31-elected-bn-may-unite-under-pbs/|title=31 elected BN may unite under PBS|author=Chok Simyee|newspaper=The Borneo Post|date=10 May 2018|access-date=11 May 2018}} However, the state government lost power after a number of BN state assemblymen left and lent their support for the Parti Warisan Sabah, which subsequently replaced the STAR-BN government with the support of Pakatan Harapan. STAR later returned to power as part of the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition which was formed to contest the 2020 Sabah state snap-election. The party is actively researching and protecting the rights of the people of Sabah through the United Nations, UNESCO and also through all evidence documents.{{cite news |url=https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2021/07/711178/kitingan-proposes-intl-justice-system-borneos-dayak-community|title=Kitingan proposes int'l justice system for Borneo's Dayak community|author=Olivia Miwil|newspaper=New Straits Times - Nation|date=24 July 2021|access-date=18 December 2021}} The party left the Perikatan Nasional (PN) opposition coalition on 5 December 2022 due to its irrelevance as a PN component party after the party decided to support the federal coalition government led by Pakatan Harapan (PH) as a GRS component party and later followed by Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2022/12/05/sabah-star-quits-perikatan|title=Sabah STAR quits Perikatan|website=The Star|date=5 December 2022|accessdate=5 December 2022}}
