The Democratic Party of Australia (DPA), sometimes referred to as the Australian Democratic Party, was an Australian political party that was active in the mid-1950s.
Ahead of the 1953 Senate election, the party merged with the Queensland-based Independent Democratic Party (IDP). However, they split following the election. The party was also separate from the North Queensland Democratic Party, which had itself been formed just weeks after the DPA.
