Democratic Action Alliance (Shangean: 民主行动联盟; Mínzhǔ xíngdòng liánméng) was an electoral alliance of pro-democracy political parties in Shangea. Consisting of 7 political parties of varying ideology the DAA was intended to be a big tent coalition designed at removing the Society for Restoring Benevolence from power and "unblock" Shangea's political, economic and social system.

The DAA was created in 2014 to coordinate pro-democracy parties in the then upcoming 2014 legislative election, where they got 161 seats. The alliance expanded during the 2016-17 Shangean Protests with the inclusion of the radical student-led New Progressive Party. However the alliance came second in the 2017 election with its leaders accusing the government of practicing electoral fraud. The DAA as a result saw many of their leaders and supporters were jailed by the government per the Normalisation process. In 2018 the DAA was stripped of its ability to contest elections and its ability to sit in state institutions and it alongside several of its parties were dissolved by a court order later that year.
