The Vectis National Party was a minor political party operating in the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s. Formed in 1969 they sought the same status for Wight as the Isle of Man has (that is Crown dependency status). They were motivated by the fact that they believed the sale of the Isle of Wight to the English crown in 1293 was unconstitutional.
They contested the Isle of Wight constituency in the 1970 general election polling 1,607 votes (2.8% of the Wight vote). The following year they narrowly lost a local government election, but by the mid-1970s the party had wound up.
