United Democratic Appeal for Xiaodong (Minjianese: 晓东团结民主呼吁; Xiǎodōng Tuánjié Mínzhǔ Hūyù) is an electoral alliance of pro-democracy political parties in Xiaodong. Consisting of 11 political parties of varying ideology the UDA is intended to be a big tent coalition designed at removing the Xiaodong Regeneration Society from power and "unblock" Xiaodong's political, economic and social system.

The UDA was created in 2011 as the Democratic Alliance (民主联盟) to coordinate pro-democracy parties in the then upcoming 2011 general election, where they got 47 seats. In 2015 they renamed themselves as the UDA and did surprisingly well in the 2016 general election, with the Regeneration Society losing its majority for the first time since the Corrective Revolution and the UDA maintaining its position as the largest opposition bloc. The UDA supported the Alliance for Democracy in Xiaodong's leader Chen Qianshi candidature for State Chairperson but after he failed to get elected to the post. When new elections announced the UDA and the Alliance for Democracy agreed to come to an electoral alliance for the next election, promising not to run candidates against each other for the next election with the intention of unseating the Regeneration Society from power.

The UDA came second in the 2017 election with its leaders accusing the government of practicing electoral fraud. The UDA as a result opted for a policy of abstentionism regarding state institutions as many of their leaders and supporters were jailed by the government per the Normalisation process. In 2018 the UDA was stripped of its ability to contest elections and its ability to sit in state institutions.
