'''Sikkim National Congress''' ({{small|abbr.}} '''SNC''') was a [[political party]] in the [[Kingdom of Sikkim]]. It was founded in 1962, through a merger of [[Swatantra Dal]], [[Rajya Praja Sammelan]], and dissidents of the then dominant parties, [[Sikkim State Congress]] and [[Sikkim National Party]]. [[Kazi Lhendup Dorjee]] was its leader.

The SNC was formed to be a party representing all ethnic groups in [[Sikkim]], as the previously dominating parties were divided on ethnic lines. It opposed the monarchy in Sikkim and worked for democratic reforms.

In April 1973, [[Sikkim Janata Congress]] merged with SNC. In [[1974 Sikkimese general election|1974]], the first democratically elected government took office in [[Sikkim]]. In that election, the party won 31 out of 32 seats.

After the merger of [[Sikkim]] with [[India]] in 1975, the party merged with the [[Indian National Congress]].
