The Pan-Bahian Democratic Party (Gaullican: Parti démocrate pan-baïen, Weranian: Panbahienische Demokratische Partei) is a transnational political party active within Bahia, Asteria Superior, and Asteria Inferior as an elected party and Euclea as a political activist organisation. Founded in 1907 in the wake of the Conference for the Promotion of the Pan-Bahian Idea, the Pan-Bahian Democratic Party is one of the world's oldest continually-active political parties and the oldest organisation promoting Bahian nationalism. During the colonial period, the PBDP was the largest political organisation in Bahia and the Bahian diaspora with more than a million members. Though it was most active within Gaullican colonial possessions, the party had an established presence in territories controlled by both Werania and Estmere.
Beginning as an anti-colonial activist group, the PBDP's branches were instrumental in the decolonisation of Bahia, though their aproach of peaceful collaboration with the colonial governments saw many breakaway faction emerge which would swiftly overtake the PBDP in the post-colonial political landscape. Many of the party's Bahian branches were forced to go underground or into exile due to repression by hardline councilist and equalist regimes, but the party's Asterian branches were more successful.

Similar the Workers' Internationale, the PBDP's regional branches have a degree of independence, but still retain institutional ties which mean the party cannot be considered a mere political alliance. The party's headquarters are based in Mambiza, Garambura, which is often seen as the capital city of Bahia and broadly held to be the most likely capital of a hypothetical pan-Bahian state.
