The Democratic Party (Spanish: Partido Demócrata, PD) was a Spanish political party created in 1879 by former Emilio Castelar as a split from the Federal Democratic Republican Party to contest the Spanish general election held in the same year. In 1884 it was renamed as the Possibilist Democratic Party (Spanish: Partido Demócrata Posibilista, PDP).

In 1893 most of it merged into the Liberal Party.[1]
