List of political parties in Morocco

Template:Short description Template:Sidebar with collapsible lists This article lists political parties in Morocco.

Morocco has had a multi-party system since independence in 1956 with numerous parties ranging in ideology from the far-left to Islamists. The Moroccan electoral system leads the political parties to seek coalition governments. However, the Prime Minister appointed by the King from the party that achieved a plurality in the parliamentary elections, and four other main cabinet ministers are appointed by the King of Morocco.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Since Morocco considers the disputed territory of Western Sahara to be its Southern Provinces, the political parties are also active in those parts of the territory administered by Morocco.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
