The Democratic Action Party of Quebec (French L'Action démocratique du Parti de Québec) is a centre-left political party in Quebec founded in November 2017. It is the youngest active political party in Quebec and is a breakway party of the National Coalition for Quebec and is lead by Elvirina Savard who is also the party's founder. The party espouses mainly social democracy and progressivism and advocates for reforming Quebec's electoral system, representing the rights of aboriginal peoples living in Quebec, and espouses American unionism.
The party currently has only two seats in the National Assembly, one provincial governorship, and four seats in Quebec's delegation to the American Parliament, all of which are from former National Coalition members who switched their affiliation to the Democratic Action Party with the only exception being the governorship they hold along with 34 other offices in local and county seats as of 2020. In the Conference of American States, the AD is affiliated with the Alliance of American Unity.
