The Greens NSW, also known as the NSW Greens, is a green political party in New South Wales and a member of the Australian Greens. First formed in 1991, the Greens NSW began as a state-level party before joining with other green parties in Australia to create the current federated structure.[9]

The Greens NSW continue to be separate to the other state and territory Greens parties in several regards. The Greens NSW tend to be more left-wing in their political positions in comparison to the other state parties,[10] and continues to maintain the original Greens policy of not having a single parliamentary leader, instead being based on principles of collective leadership.[11]

The party currently sits on the crossbench in the New South Wales Parliament, and has representation federally in the Senate.
