The Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD, Spanish: Partido de la Revolución Democrática, pronounced [paɾˈtiðo ðe la reβoluˈsjon demoˈkɾatika]) is a state-level^[13] social democratic^[14]^[15] political party in Mexico (previously national, until 2024).^[16] The PRD originated from the Democratic Current, a political faction formed in 1986 from the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).^[17] The PRD was formed after the contested general election in 1988, which the PRD's immediate predecessor, the National Democratic Front, believed was rigged by the PRI. This sparked a movement away from the PRI's authoritarian rule.^[18]

As of 2023, the PRD is a member of the Strength and Heart for Mexico (Fuerza y Corazón por México) coalition. Internationally, the PRD is a member of the Progressive Alliance.^[12] The members of the party are known colloquially in Mexico as Perredistas. In 2024, the party failed to reach the necessary percentage of votes to keep its registration as a national political party.
