The Brazilian Social Democracy Party (Portuguese: Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira, PSDB), also known as the Brazilian Social Democratic Party or the Party of Brazilian Social Democracy,[18] is a centre-right political party in Brazil. As the formerly third largest party in the National Congress, the PSDB was the main opposition party against the Workers' Party (PT) administrations of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff from 2003 to 2016.

Born together as part of the social democratic opposition to the military dictatorship from the late 1970s through the 1980s, and later shifting toward neoliberalism and liberal conservatism in the 1990s, the PSDB and the PT have since the mid-1990s been the bitterest of rivals in current Brazilian politics—both parties prohibit any kind of coalition or official cooperation with each other at any government levels. The PSDB's mascot is a blue and yellow colored toucan, with party members being called tucanos for this reason. Famous tucanos include Mário Covas, Geraldo Alckmin (now a member of the PSB), Tasso Jereissati, Aécio Neves, former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Franco Montoro, Aloysio Nunes, Yeda Crusius, João Doria, and José Serra.

Her main rival, from the nominally social democratic and strongly neoliberal PSDB (Party of Brazilian Social Democracy, Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira), won in the richer states and among higher income voters and those with more years of formal education.

Socialist and social democratic parties, as well as movements and parties known as "populist" and nationalist, were recycled, also in parallel fashion to the European phenomenon, towards neoliberal policies. Peronism, the Mexican PRI, the Chilean Socialist Party, Brazil's PSDB, Democratic Action in Venezuela and the MIR in Bolivia are clear examples of that process. With this they helped to even further isolate the CPs and other more radical forces onthe left, abandoned their traditional policies of government control of the distribution of income, and became responsible for the spread of neoliberalism over the continent as a whole, abandoning the already debilitated field of the left.
