Ukrainian Social Democratic Party (USDP; Ukrainian: Українська соціал-демократична партія, romanized: Ukrainska sotsial-demokratychna partiia) was a political party in Galicia. The party was founded in 1899 as an autonomous section of the Galician Social Democratic Party in Austrian Galicia and later became a separate party in 1907. During the brief Western Ukrainian People's Republic (1918-1919) the party was briefly in government, before going into opposition. After the capture of Galicia by the Second Polish Republic, the party became part of the constitutional Ukrainian resistance to Polish rule before being banned and mostly being subsumed into other socialist movements.
