The Progressive Conservative Party (PCP) was a far-right Australian political party that contested the 1980 federal election. Its stated aims included the reintroduction of the White Australia Policy, an end to Asian immigration to Australia, the cessation of foreign aid, and higher tax concessions to non-working mothers.Jaensch, Dean & Mathieson, David (1998).

The party was established in October 1979 by Gordon Hardy, a Perth company director. Its policies were listed by The Canberra Times as advocating for a national referendum on Asian immigration to Australia, and a 90 percent cut to foreign aid.{{cite news|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/110604165|title=New Party|newspaper=The Canberra Times|date=10 October 1979}}
