Pauline Hanson's One Nation, also known as One Nation or One Nation Party, is an Australian right-wing to far-right political party.

One Nation had electoral success in the late 1990s, before suffering an extended decline after 2001. Its leaders have been accused, charged, and later acquitted, of fraud, and the party has suffered from numerous defections, resignations and other internal scandals which culminated in Hanson's resignation from the party.

Nevertheless, One Nation has had a profound impact on debates on multiculturalism and immigration in Australia.
