The Party of the Hungarian Coalition, officially registered under the compound name Strana maďarskej koalície – Magyar Koalíció Pártja, is a political party in Slovakia, for the ethnic Hungarian minority. It was led by Pál Csáky (formerly led by Béla Bugár), until the parliamentary election of 12 June 2010 where it failed to acquire 5% of the popular vote, the threshold necessary for entering the National Council of the Slovak Republic. In response, Csáky and the whole party leadership resigned.
The party became a member of the European People's Party (EPP) in 7 June 2000. In the European Parliament, its MEPs sit in the EPP-ED Group.
