The Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD, Spanish: Partido de la Revolución Democrática, pronounced [paɾˈtiðo ðe la reβoluˈsjon demoˈkɾatika]) is a social democratic[12][13] political party in Mexico.[14] The PRD originated from the Democratic Current, a political faction formed in 1986 from the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).[15] 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.[16]

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.[11] The members of the party are known colloquially in Mexico as Perredistas.
