The Saadist Institutional Party (Arabic: حزب الهيئة السعدية) was an Egyptian political party. It was established in 1938 as a split-off from the Wafd party. Ahmed Maher Pasha and Mahmoud Fahmy Elnokrashy Pasha were on one side and party secretary Makram Ebeid was on the other. Party head Mostafa el-Nahhas took the side of Makram and dismissed Maher and Elnokrashy. The dismissed leaders created the new party.
