The Sustainable New Zealand Party, also called Sustainable NZ, was a political party in New Zealand.

Waitematā Local Board member Vernon Tava came up with the idea of Sustainable NZ in early 2019[3] and the party was launched in November 2019.[2] Mainstream media characterised the party as a "teal" or "blue-green" group,[4] labelling rejected by Tava who insisted on characterising Sustainable NZ as a "green-green party".[5]
On 15 December 2021, the party was deregistered and its logo cancelled at its own request.[6]
