The Patriotic Youth League (PYL) is a nationalistic, racist, neo-nazi youth organization in Australia. The group was founded in late 2002 by its current president, Stuart McBeth, and acts as the youth wing of National Action, under the mentorship of Jim Saleam . McBeth is a student attending the University of Newcastle. McBeth had previously been involved with One Nation and was interested in building a youth movement with a nationalistic right-wing perspective.

The PYL apparently have branches in several Australian cities on the east coast, including Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, the Central Coast, and Newcastle.
