The Democratic Party of Vietnam (Đảng Dân chủ Việt Nam) was a political party in North Vietnam and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It was founded on 30 July 1944 to unite petty bourgeoisie and intelligentsia. It joined Vietminh. From 1954 to 1975, it was active in North Vietnam and from 1975 to 1988 in the re-unified Vietnam. It supported the line of the Communist Party of Vietnam and became in effect its puppet party. It was a member of the Vietnamese Fatherland Front and was represented in the Vietnamese parliament and government, its leader was Nghiem Xuan Yem. The party (along with the other 'non-communist' party in Vietnam, the Socialist Party) was disbanded in 1988.
In 2006, a dissident organization with the same name - Democratic Party of Vietnam - was established. Hoang Minh Chinh, a member of the old party, was involved in its founding.
