United Goans Democratic Party is one of two formerly dominant political parties in the Indian state of Goa. UGDP has its base amongst the Christian part of the population.

In Jharkhand the group of Jaua Manjhi is formally attached to the party, in order to be able to use the party election symbol 'two leaves'. In 2005 two seats in the Jharkhand assembly were won on the UGDP symbol.[1]

In Goa, the UGDP is much weaker than its predecessor, the United Goans Party which was the main opposition party during the 1960s. At the June 2007 state elections, the party took 1 out of 40 seats. It is allied with the BJP which is currently in opposition in Goa as well as in the national government.
