The Hungarian Two-Tailed Dog Party (Hungarian: Magyar Kétfarkú Kutya Párt; MKKP) is a political party in Hungary. It was founded in Szeged in 2006, but did not register as an official political party until 2014. The party's main activity is street art, consisting of graffiti, stencils, and posters which parody Hungary's political elite.[5]

Because the party participated in the 2018 Hungarian legislative election, it is eligible to receive government funds, which it spends on the "Rózsa Sándor State Fund Wasting Public Program".[6]
