The National Democratic Party (Spanish: Partido Nacional Democrático, abbreviated PND) was a Salvadoran political party that existed from 1918 to 1931.
The party held power from 1918 to 1931 in a time period of El Salvador known as the Meléndez–Quiñónez dynasty.
El Salvador was called a "coffee republic" during the reign of the PND due to the country's heavy reliance on coffee exports.
