The Outer Party is a fictional social stratum from the George Orwell novel, 1984.

The Outer Party represents the middle class in Oceanic society, bureaucrats who do most of the actual work in the Party government and its four ministries. Its members can be identified by their blue jumpsuits.

From a certain viewpoint, the members of the Outer Party, and not the "proles", are seen as the worst off of the three classes. They lack the relative personal freedom and simple pleasures of the proles, as they are under constant surveillence by the Inner Party, and do not have the comforts of the Inner Party such as pleasant food, wine, cigarettes, coffee, tea, chocolate, personal servants, convenient transportation, and more comfortable and spacious homes, as well as the right to turn their telescreens off.
