Czech National Social Party (Czech: Česká strana národně sociální, CSNS) is a civic nationalist political party established in 1898 within the Young Czech Party (National Liberal Party) as a nominally socialist group with a stress on achieving Czech independence from Austria–Hungary (as opposed to the international revolution of the Social Democratic Party, which was the largest Czech socialist group at that time).
Despite the similar name, the CSNS was not affiliated with the German Nazi Party; the Nazis formally suppressed the party.
