The Party for Rural Hungary (Hungarian: Vidéki Magyarországért Párt; VMP), was an agrarianist political party in Hungary.

The party, founded in Tiszaderzs, contested in the 1990 parliamentary election with one individual candidate (Dezső Herédy) for Karcag (Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County Constituency VIII), but did not obtain a mandate.[1] After 1990 the VMP did not contest any further elections and became technically defunct.[2] During the 1990 local elections, Herédy was elected mayor of Tiszaderzs, holding the position until 1992 and from 2002 to 2014.
