Social Democracy of the Republic of Poland (Polish: Socjaldemokracja Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, SdRP) was a social-democratic political party in Poland created in 1990, shortly after the Revolutions of 1989. The party was the main of the two successor parties to the Polish United Workers Party (the other being the Social Democratic Union). SdRP was the leading party of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) coalition grouping, formed in 1991. In 1999, SdRP was absorbed into the SLD, which transformed into a unified political party.
Among the creators and leading figures of SdRP were the former Polish president Aleksander Kwaśniewski, former speaker of the Sejm Józef Oleksy and former Prime Minister Leszek Miller.
