The Mongolian Social Democratic Party (Mongolian: Монголын Социал Демократ Нам; Mongolyn Sotsial Demokrat Nam, sometimes also referred to as Sotsdek nam) was a political party in Mongolia. It was founded in 1990 by Bat-Erdene Batbayar (Baabar). Other prominent members included A.Ganbaatar and R.Gonchigdorj. A considerable number of members came from the mathematics and physics departements of Mongolia's National University. The party was part of the Democratic Union coalition that ruled from 1996 to 2000 and joined the Democratic Party in 2000. It is not to be confused with the Mongolian Democratic New Socialist Party, which is another name for the Motherland Party.
