The Agrarian Party of Russia (Agrarnaya Partiya Rossii, Аграрная Партия России, АПР) is a left wing agrarian party in Russia. Founded in February of 1993, it is among the oldest political parties in modern Russia. While not officially communist, it displays many similarities with the ideologies of collectivism and socialism, while at the same time promoting some private property for small farmers.

The party was founded and led by Mikhail Lapshin until 2004, the current leader of the party is Vladimir Plotnikov. In the State Duma election of December 1993, the Agrarian Party of Russia obtained 37 seats in the parliament and won 8% of the popular vote. Between 1994 and 1996 member of the party Ivan Rybkin was a speaker of the Russian parliament. In the State Duma elections in December 1995, the APR did not make it over the 5% threshold, obtaining only 3.78% of the vote. At the last legislative elections, 7 December 2003, the party won 3.6 % of the popular vote and 3 out of 450 seats.

Member of the Agrarian party Nikolay Kharitonov ran as a presidential candidate of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in Russian presidential election, 2004 and won 13.7% of the vote coming second after Vladimir Putin.

In the 1990s the party deputies were usually allies of the Communist Party in the State Duma and advocated greater government support for the agricultural sector.
