The National Pensioners Convention (NPC) is the principal organisation representing pensioners in the United Kingdom. It is made up of around hundreds of bodies representing 1.15 million members, organised into federal regional units.

The NPC was founded by former Transport and General Workers' Union trade union leader, Jack Jones in 1979. He served as its President until 2001, when he was succeeded by Rodney Bickerstaffe, who had been general secretary of UNISON. Frank Cooper was the next President, followed by Ron Douglas and then Rosie MacGregor.
