The Liberal Democratic Party (Serbian: Либерално-демократска партија or Liberalno-demokratska partija) is a classical liberal political party in Serbia.

It was founded on 5 November 2005 by a fraction of the Democratic Party after their leader, former Deputy Prime Minister Čedomir Jovanović had been expelled in a party purge. The party was represented in the Assembly of Serbia and Montenegro after Đorđe Đukic defected from the Democratic Party to the Liberal Democratic Party. The party has also reached a coalition agreement for the next parliamentary elections with the Civic Alliance of Serbia, League of Vojvodina Social Democrats and the Social Democratic Union. In 2007 parlamentary elections, the Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partners won 15 seats with 5.3% of total vote. LDP itself got 6 seats on the ticket.

The Civic Alliance of Serbia merged into the LDP on March 31, 2007, after the Board unanimously accepted the proposal, finalising their alliance from the 2007 elections.^[1]
