The National Democratic Alternative (, ADN), originally the Democratic Republican Party (, PDR) until October 2021, is a Portuguese political party, founded in 2014.

In 2022, the party attracted some attention for its COVID-19 denialist views after the party president claimed on a televised debate that "there wasn't an excess of mortality in Portugal because of Covid", and that "there is proof that only 152 people died of Covid (in Portugal)".

On 22 September 2022, the party left the European Democratic Party due to ideological divergencies regarding the LGBT community.

The party achieved its best electoral result in the 2024 Portuguese legislative election. During the election it was involved in a controversy with the Democratic Alliance (AD) spearheaded by the Social Democratic Party (PSD). The AD alleged that ADN was taking its votes by having similar initials. Leader Bruno Fialho said that these allegations were evidence that AD leader Luís Montenegro believed that the Portuguese people were stupid; Fialho added that nobody had confused the PSD with its main rival, the Socialist Party (PS).
