This article lists Mauritius political parties in alphabetical order. Mauritius has a multi-party system with numerous political parties, in which no single party usually has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.
Active parties
<!--The general rule on naming applies. That means: the parties are named in the English translation and the original native name is placed on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly used in English than the English form. Rationale and specifics: See: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English).-->
