The German National Socialist Workers' Party (DNSAP) was a radical peoples, anti-capitalist, anti-communist and anti-Semitic party of the German minority in the First Czechoslovak Republic.

It was formed in May 1918 by renaming from the German Workers' Party (DAP), which was active in Austria-Hungary both in the Austrian heartland and among the German minority in the Czech lands. After the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy, it split in 1919 into an Austrian and a Czechoslovak branch. Although these regarded themselves as “sister parties”, they were organizationally independent. From 1920 there was also cooperation with the NSDAP in the Weimar Republic. The DNSAP in Czechoslovakia evolved into a fascist movement, increasingly linked to German National Socialist oriented. It disbanded in September 1933 to forestall a ban that was issued on October 7, 1933.

The DNSAP copied the party formations of the NSDAP and established the National Socialist Youth Association (corresponding to the Hitler Youth) including the uniforms, symbols and insignia. These formations were ideologically and politically more aligned to Hitler and the "Reich" than their own party leadership. They were organized strictly hierarchically according to the leader principle and pursued irredentist goals.
