The Democrat Party (Partido Demócrata) of Chile was a Chilean political party created by a left-wing faction of the Radical Party in 1887. It was created to protect the working and middle class, but over the years it became a traditional political movement, with factions of center-right and center-left.
Luis Emilio Recabarren was active in the party until 1912, when he founded the Socialist Workers Party (POS), which later changed its name to the Communist Party.
