The Katipunan ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino (lit.'Society of United Filipinos', KANP or KNP) is a political party in the Philippines. The party was founded in June 19, 2020 by Kerby Salazar, a provincial board member from Cavite, to be a platform for youth empowerment in the national government.

In October 2021, KANP welcomed lawyer Chel Diokno as its party member and senatorial candidate for the upcoming 2022 Philippine general elections. The party also adopted presidential aspirant Vice President Leni Robredo, vice presidential aspirant Senator Francis Pangilinan, and senatorial aspirant Teddy Baguilat as their national candidates.[1]

In May 2024, former senator Bam Aquino announced he had assumed the role of KANP's party chairman after leaving the Liberal Party. He has also stated his intention to run in the 2025 Senate elections.[2]
