Solidary Democracy (Italian: Democrazia Solidale, DemoS) is a Christian-leftist political party in Italy.

The party's early leader, Lorenzo Dellai has described it as a "Christian-social" party.^[4] DemoS is led by Paolo Ciani. Several party members, including Ciani, hail from the Community of Sant'Egidio.

DemoS maintains solid relations with the Democratic Party. It also had relations with a number of alike minor parties/groups of the Christian left, notably including the Democratic Centre^[4] (with which DemoS formed a joint parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies in 2014–2018), the Christian Popular Union^[5] (active mainly in Sardinia) and the Union for Trentino (Dellai's long-time party in Trentino, of which he was President in 1999–2012).
