The Christian Democratic Movement (Slovak: Kresťanskodemokratické hnutie) (KDH) is a political party in Slovakia.
It is represented in the parliament. It was also member of the government coalition, but it left that coalition on February 7, 2006 due to disputes over an international treaty between Slovakia and the Holy See dealing with the Conscientious objection on religious grounds.
The party was established in 1990. Currently, it is led by Pavol Hrušovský. In the 1990s it was led by Ján Čarnogurský.
In the parliamentary election of 17 June 2006, the party won 8.3 % of the popular vote and 14 out of 150 seats.
