The Serbian Social Democratic Party (Serbian: Српска социјалдемократска партија, romanizedSrpska socijaldemokratska partija; abbr ССДП or SSDP), also known simply as the Serbian Socialist Party[2] was a left-wing political party in Kingdom of Serbia that was formed in 1903. Prominent leaders included Dimitrije Tucović, Dragiša Lapčević, and Dušan A. Popović.[3]

It ceased to exist after World War I with the creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, when in 1919 the social democrats joined the new Socialist Workers' Party of Yugoslavia (of Communists) (Socijalistička radnička partija Jugoslavije (komunista)), the predecessor of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.
