The Progressive Democratic Party (Bengali: প্রগতিশীল গণতান্ত্রিক দল) is a newly established democratic party in Bangladesh. It is popularly known as the PDP. This party was launched on 21 June 2007 though a press conference, as soon as limited indoor political activity was allowed, although open politics was prohibited at that time as the country was still under a state of emergency.^[2]

The founder and president of the party, Ferdous Ahmed Qureshi, died at the end of August 2020.^[3] The Bangladesh Election Commission cancelled the party's registration in November of that year for not having a functioning central committee or sufficient offices at district and lower levels to maintain registration.^[4]
