The Democratic Party of Vietnam (Vietnamese: Đảng Dân chủ Việt Nam) was a political party in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (later only North Vietnam). It was founded on 30 July 1944 to unite petite bourgeoisie and intelligentsia in support of the Vietminh and in effect its satellite party. It was a member of the Vietnamese Fatherland Front and was represented in the Vietnamese parliament and government, its leader were Dương Đức Hiền and Nghiêm Xuân Yêm. The party (along with the other 'non-communist' party in Vietnam, the Socialist Party) was disbanded in 1988.

In 2006, a dissident organization with the same name was established. Hoàng Minh Chính, a member of the former Democratic Party, was involved in its founding.[1]
