Purvanchal Vikas Party is a political party founded ahead of the 2004 Lok Sabha election in the Indian state of Punjab. PVP emerged as a group representing migrant labourers from the Hindi belt region in and around the city of Ludhiana. Amongst other issues, PVP raised demands for the construction of a 'Purvanchal Bhavan' (Eastern Building) for migrant labourers. The convenor of the party (until a regular conference is held) is T.R. Misra.[1]

In the 2007 assembly election in Uttar Pradesh PVP launched one candidate, Ashiquazzaman in Gorakhpur. Ashiquazzaman got 104 votes (0.11% of the votes in the constituency).[2]
