Jordanian Democratic Popular Unity Party (حزب الوحدة الشعبية الديمقراطي الأردني Hizb Al-Wahdah Al-Sha'abiyah Al-Dimuqratiyyah Al-Urduniy), commonly known as Wihda, is a political party in Jordan. The party was formed in 1990, when the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine separated their branch in Jordan to become a separate party. The party often critiques Jordan's lack of political reform, particularly of its electoral law. As a result, they boycotted both the 2010 and 2013 elections. Although, they are primarily focused on implementing a socialist Jordan and securing Palestinian independence. Other goals include eradicating settler colonialism, strengthening labor unions, allowing freedom of speech, preventing government corruption, expanding social services, and promoting higher education. Its current secretary general is Dr. Saeed Dhiyab.

The editor-in-chief of their website is Hisham Alqam.

On the 2023 conflict in Israel and Gaza, the party has reiterated its condemnation of Zionism and its commitment to an independent Palestine. They continue to be extremely vocal about the conflict, arguing for "Adopting resistance in all its forms, most notably armed struggle, as the only feasible and fruitful approach to confronting the Zionist aggression and displacement project, and as a natural, human, religious, and national duty and right approved by international conventions and laws; Its legitimacy is above any demonization, controversy, or attempt at confusion and distortion intentionally by the global colonial powers." Demands include stopping the aggression in the region and opening the Rafah crossing. They call for the canceling of the Wadi Araba Agreement and argue for the removal of foreign military bases on Jordanian soil.
