The New Democratic Front (abbrv. NDF; Sinhala: නව ප්රජාතන්ත්රවාදී පෙරමුණ; Tamil: புதிய ஜனநாயக முன்னணி) is a political party in Sri Lanka. The party was formed in 1995 after Srimani Athulathmudali, widow of assassinated politician Lalith Athulathmudali, split from the Democratic United National Front.
The party was originally named the Democratic United National Lalith Front, after the late politician, until it was renamed in 2009. Since 2010, the party has served as a political front for supporting Sri Lankan presidential candidates in presidential elections by the United National Party and its allies.
