Democrats of the 21st Century (Dutch: Democraten van de 21ste eeuw) was a political party in Suriname from 2000 to 2010.

Due to disagreements between Wijdenbosch and fellow National Democratic Party leader Desi Bouterse, the NDP withdrew its support for Wijdenbosch's government and decided to contest 2000 elections separately.

[1] The Party for National Unity and Solidarity, which held five ministries as part of the ruling coalition, decided to follow the NDP.

However, three of its ministers (including Soewarto Moestadja) decided to support Wijdenbosch; they broke from the party and founded Democrats of the 21st Century (D21).

[2] Five years later, D21 joined the A1-Combination, a coalition that also included Democratic Alternative '91, the Political Wing of the FAL and Meeting Point 2000.
