The National Integrity Party (Partido de Integridad Nacional, PIN, or in some English-speaking countries, NIP) is a former political party in Guatemala. It was a "personalistic Arbenzista party" founded in Quezaltenango in 1949 with the goal of countering the opposition Independent Anti-Communist Party of the West, which was active in the same region. In 1952 the party merged with the other non-Communist parties supporting the Árbenz presidency (the National Renovation Party, the Revolutionary Action Party, the Socialist Party and the Popular Liberation Front) to form the Party of the Guatemalan Revolution.
