保守黨(英語:Conservative Party),正式名称是保守与統一黨(Conservative and Unionist Party),俗稱托利黨(Tory Party),是英國中間偏右政黨,也是英國歷史最悠久的政黨,與工黨並列為英國兩大主要政黨。目前為英國下議院第一大黨。
保守黨是世界上最古老的有組織政治團體,其演化可上溯至18世紀早期英国议会的托利黨派系,以至於活躍於16世紀至17世紀時期,一種在議會內支持政府,稱之為「保王黨」的不正式派別。以選舉的勝出次數計算,保守黨可謂近代英國歷史甚至世界近現代史上最成功的政黨。
由於保守黨乃發展自活躍於18及19世紀的托利黨,所以它的黨員常稱為“托利黨人”(Tories),而保守黨亦時常被乾脆稱作“托利黨”。整個20世紀,保守黨在其中三分之二的時間皆參與政府,當中有57年是執政黨。保守黨於1997年大選敗於托尼·布莱尔領導的工黨以後,一直處於在野黨的狀態。直到2010年英國大选后與自民黨組成聯合政府至2015年英國大選保守黨單獨過半為止,戴维·卡梅伦在這段時間擔任首相,直至2016年。2017年英國大選中雖保持第一大黨地位,但贏得議席不過半,組成由北爱尔兰民主统一黨提供信任供給的少數政府。至2019年英國大選,保守黨取得365席,超過半數,而再度單獨執政。
