The Democracy Party (Persian: حزب مردم‌سالاری or Hezb e Mardomsālāri) is an Iranian reformist political party that was formed by activists with a mission to preserve the Reformist message of former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami.^[3]

Initially, the party began by university student activists across the cities of Iran's Semnan Province who understood that the reformist movement in Iran needed to build a true grassroots political party that spans the county, provincial, and national level.^[3] Its current Secretary-General Mostafa Kavakebian, who was a member of parliament representing the people of Semnan, spearheaded the movement's efforts. The Democracy Party publishes the Mardomsalari (Democracy) newspaper.^[1]
