The Entrepreneurs' Party (Dutch: OndernemersPartij, pronounced [ˌɔndərˈneːmərspɑrˌtɛi]; OP) was a political party in the Netherlands founded on 22 April 2015. The founder and political leader of the party is Hero Brinkman, who was in the House of Representatives for the Party for Freedom from 2006 to 2012.
The party took part in the 2017 House of Representatives elections, but did not win a seat with 0.12% of the votes. A striking name on the candidate list was radio DJ Patrick Kicken. Initially, former DSB Bank director Dirk Scheringa was also going to participate in the elections, but he was expelled in March 2016 when he had not paid his contributions. After the party failed to win a single seat, it was dissolved.
