The Social Democrats of Paretia (Luzelese: Social Democratas da Paretia; Esmeiran: Social Demócratas de Paretia; Vicisan: Social Demócratas de Paretia; Tosuton: Social Demòcrates de Paretia), or the SDP is a center-left political party in Paretia. It was founded in 1976 by a merging of the Paretian Socialist Party, the New Left of Paretia and former moderate members of the Paretian Section of the Worker's Internationale. It was formed after the growth of the Conservative Union which had recently won the 1975 election in a massive landslide without the need of a coalition government to control the country. Since 2011 it has lead the opposition of the Paretian legislature and since 2017 against the center-to-right wing Compromise Coalition, despite holding the most seats in both houses.

The Party's first successes were in the 1980's when the urge to join the Euclean Community began to attract voters, they took advantage of this and promised to join the Euclean Community by the end of the century. This message and their policies on Healthcare, Promoting unions, and Infrastructure, would lead to their first victory in the election of 1990 where they had control of every party of the government, with Julío Pires as Premier. In the 1991 Paretian Referendum to join the EC, which their support would lead to joining the EC in a massive landslide vote. They would be able to successfully get Paretia to join the EC with by 1995 and implemented many of the policies the community promoted, they would be in control until 2003, and then returned to power for only three years from 2008-2011.

The Party has been the leader of the opposition since the losing to the Conservative Union's Vasco Gonçalves and their allies in the 2011 general election. Since the election the party has been lead by Esmeralda Falcão, who has been a leading figure in the party since the early 2000's. Her role as the leader has been difficult as they have not won power due to the coalition government, while fragile, has been able to exist for an entire decade.
