The National Committee ({{langx|el|Εθνικό Κομιτάτο}}) was a Greek political party founded by Epameinondas Deligiorgis.
The party was founded in 1865, and was composed by young revolutionaries who helped to overthrow King Otto, ending his semi-absolutist reign. The party wasn't linked with the traditional parties (English, French and Russian), and wasn't associated with a particular ideology.Χ. Κοριζής, Η πολιτική ζωή εις την Ελλάδα 1821-1910, σελ.90
The National Committee tried to establish a strong parliamentary system, along with economic modernization, supporting the creation of infrastructures. It also campaigned for a military reform and a cultural expansion in the Ottoman Empire.
However, the absence of a strong party's apparatus caused its dissolution after Deligiorgis' death in 1879.[http://digitalschool.minedu.gov.gr/modules/ebook/show.php/DSGL-C102/79/646,2346/unit=986 digitalschool.minedu.gov.gr]
