The Social Democratic Populist Party (Turkish: Sosyaldemokrat Halkçı Parti) was the name of a former Turkish left social-democratic party, which resulted from the fusion, in 1985, of the Social Democracy Party (Sosyal Demokrasi Partisi, SODEP) of Erdal İnönü and the Halkçı Parti of Aydın Güven Gürkan, both founded in 1983 with the return to democracy after the military coup of 1980. The party merged into the Republican People's Party (CHP) in 1992.
