Russian National Autonomous Party (Rusyn: Руська національно-автономна партія, romanized: Ruska natsionalno-avtonomna partia, Czech: Ruská nacionálně-autonomní strana) was one of political parties of ethnic Rusyns in Second Czechoslovak Republic. It was founded by Štepan Fencik, just ahead of the 1935 Czechoslovak parliamentary election, in March 1935 in Mukachevo. Fencik was elected to parliament. The party published Nash puť ('Our Path').[1]

The party advocated for full political autonomy of Subcarpathian Rus' within the Second Czechoslovak Republic. Politically, it displayed antisemitic and far-right characteristics.[2] In the programmatic declarations of the party, it demanded recognition of the Carpatho-Russian national minority, support or Slavic ideas and genuine democracy.[1]
