"Cuckservative" is a pejorative formed as a portmanteau of "cuck", an abbreviation of the word "cuckold", and the political designation "conservative". It has become a derogatory label used by white nationalists and the alt-right in the United States to denigrate other conservatives, generally for being moderates, and later for not supporting white-nationalist interests.

The word "cuckservative" reached a high level of mainstream political conversation around mid-July 2015, where it gained media attention a few weeks before the start of the first Republican primary debate for the 2016 United States presidential election.
