The '''English Party''' ([[Greek language|Greek:]] '''Αγγλικό Κóμμα'''), was one of the three informal Early Greek Parties that dominated the early political history of Modern Greece, the other two being the [[Russian Party|Russian]] and the [[French Party|French]] one.

==History and party development==

The creation and evolution of these Parties was the effect of the interest that the three Great Powers (England, France and Russia) displayed for Greek affairs. As a result, they counted on the hope that Greeks had, that by supporting them those countries would also help Greek Kingdom to fulfill its expectations for economical progress and territorial expansion.

The establishment of the English Party should probably be considered the action that some leaders of the Greek [[War of Independence]] took in June of [[1825]], urged by Prince [[Alexandros Mavrokordatos]] and [[Georgios Kountouriotis]], to compose a letter, whereby Greece applied for protection to England.

The party lacked support in [[Central Greece]] but was very powerful among the [[Phanariotes]], the landholders of the [[Peloponnese]] and the wealthy shipowners of the [[Aegean Islands]]. During [[Ioannis Kapodistria]]'s period lost much of its influence due to the establishment of the other parties, but it regained must of it after the arrival of [[King Otto]], since the political sympathies of the principal Regent, [[Josef Ludwig von Armansperg]], lay with Britain.

Its unquestioned leader was Prince [[Alexandros Mavrokordatos]], and the party quickly started to decline in influence after his death in [[1855]].
