The Civic Democratic Alliance (Czech: Občanská demokratická aliance, ODA) was a conservative-liberal[2][3] political party in the Czech Republic, active between 1989 (founded shortly after the Velvet revolution) and 2007. The ODA was part of government coalitions until 1997 and participated in transformation of the Czech economy.
