The Smoker's Rights Party, often referred to as the SRP, was a regional party active in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Founded in 2009 in response to the Northeast smoking ban and New York City cigarette sale ban, later spreading to the Mid-Atlantic. The party disbanded after the 2014 elections.

The SRP, based in Newark, New Jersey due to its proximity to New York City, soon gained support in the Mid-Atlantic. A senior party official explained this by pointing out that "[Lieutenant Governor] Andrews' solution to every problem, big or small, is to tax tobacco to pay for it".
