National Democratic Party (El Salvador)

The National Democratic Party (Partido Nacional Democrático) was a Salvadoran political party that existed from 1913 to 1931. The party held power from 1913 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. The party ruled as the country's sole political party.

The party did not participate in the 1931 general election since President Pío Romero Bosque did not designate a successor like his predecessors had done. The party was dissolved following the 1931 coup d'état when all political parties were banned. Its paramilitary wing from 1918 to 1923 was the Red League.
