The Party of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Turkmenistan (Turkmen: Türkmenistanyň Senagatçylar we Telekeçiler partiýasy) is a political party in Turkmenistan. The party originated in August 2012 as the first legal opposition party in the country. On 10 June 2013 Party leader Ovezmammed Mammedov was elected to the Assembly of Turkmenistan in a by-election held for five vacant seats.

In December 2017 delegates at the second national party conference elected Saparmyrat Ovganov as the party's new leader.

Criticism

The party supports the policy of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow and Serdar. According to critics, the party appeared only to create the illusion of multiparty elections.
