The Above and Beyond Party is a United Kingdom political party established in 2015. It is putting forward candidates in the United Kingdom general election, 2015 on the single issue of demanding a "none of the above" option in all United Kingdom elections.

The party has announced that it has eight target seats, and as of 24 March 2015 it had candidates in place for four of these: Cardiff Central, Cheadle, Leeds North West, and Sheffield Central, and in Sheffield Hallam would be supporting a named independent candidate. It also had a candidate standing in Clwyd West.

The party was first registered with the Election Commission on 18 March 2015. Its official description is "single-issue party demanding the none of the above option on all UK ballot papers" and its symbol is described as "an ancient symbol for resilience". The party leader, nominating officer and campaigns officer is Mark Flanagan and the treasurer is Karen Stanley.

A series of "AboveBeyond" music nights is being held to raise funds for the party.
