Democratic Alliance (Ukrainian: Демократичний альянс) is a political party in Ukraine registered in September 2011.[2][3]

Before becoming a political party Democratic Alliance was an youth organization.[4] The objective of the organization was "to form a new Christian-democratic, responsible, patriotic-oriented social and political elite of the country through the creation of conditions for the development, improvement and implementation of youth".[4]

The party has organized protest against corruption and fraud[5] and it took part in the Euromaidan protest in December 2013.[6] Because of its involvement in protests the party claimed in May 2012 the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice tried to eliminate its registration.[5] Members of the party have been arrested (while taking part in protests).[7]

The party did not participate in the 2012 parliamentary elections.[8]
