The Social Democratic Party (Portuguese: Partido Social Democrata, pron. IPA: ) is a political party in Portugal. It is commonly known by its initials, PSD.

The party has 75 of 230 seats of the Assembly of the Republic, and has lost the most recent Portuguese legislative election, while governing in coalition with the People's Party. The current leader is Luís Marques Mendes, who was elected in the Congress in Pombal in April.

The party's name can be misleading: although its first official ideology, after its foundation, was centre-left, it is nowadays a party of the centre-right and does not advocate social democracy in any usual sense of the term. The party left the Liberal International in 1996 and their delegates to the European Parliament have, since the late 1990s, sat with the European People's Party (EPP), along with the Conservative and Christian Democratic parties of many European countries. Previously, they had sat with the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party.

The party publishes the weekly Povo Livre.
