Independent Platform of the North

The Independent Platform of the North (Nezavisna Platforma Sjever, NPS) is a regionalist political party in Croatia led by Matija Posavec, the prefect of Međimurje County since 2013. Its headquarters is located in Čakovec. Initially founded as an electoral list in March 2021 prior to that year's local elections, it took on its current name in July 2023.

The party is positioned on the political centre and seeks to gather independent lists from the region.

Posavec was previously a member of the social liberal Croatian People's Party (HNS) and its Međimurje branch leader, until he left in 2019. He resigned as county prefect in September 2021 after a bribery affair was revealed and he was arrested. He initially confessed to accepting a 10 thousand kuna bribe, but later retracted the confession and successfully ran for a new mandate as county prefect in a special election. He was re-elected during the 2021 Croatian local elections in the first round.

NPS won two seats in the Croatian Parliament at the 2024 Croatian parliamentary election. The party became a part of the Our Croatia alliance.
