Democratic Alternative (Finnish: Demokraattinen Vaihtoehto; Swedish: Demokratiskt Alternativ) was a political party in Finland.

Deva was formed in 1986 by expelled members of the Communist Party of Finland and its mass front Finnish People's Democratic League.

In 1990 Deva disintegrated and its members joined the Left Alliance, a merger of SKP and SKDL, founded earlier that year.

Deva consisted of Communist Party of Finland (Unity), Revolutionary Youth League, Women's Democratic Action Centre, Socialist Students' League and Democratic Civic Association.

Marjatta Stenius-Kaukonen, Ensio Laine, Marja-Liisa Löyttyjärvi and Esko-Juhani Tennilä[1] were elected MPs.
