Jan Adhikar Party (Loktantrik); English: People's Rights Party (Democratic) was a political party in Bihar, India. The party was formed by Indian politician Pappu Yadav in May 2015.

Pappu Yadav was a Member of Parliament from Madhepura and was expelled from Rashtriya Janata Dal for years due to anti-party activities. The party was launched just before 2015 Bihar Legislative Assembly election. Pappu Yadav campaigned against Nitish-Lalu Alliance, but didn't secure any assembly seat in the state legislative assembly.

In 2024, before general election he merged his party in Indian National Congress.
