The Social Democrats (Kyrgyz: Социал-демократтар, romanized: Sotsial-demokrattar; Russian: Социал-демократы, romanized: Sotsial-demokraty; SDK) is a political party in Kyrgyzstan founded in late 2019 by supporters of former president Almazbek Atambayev – legal successor from the Social Democratic Party of Kyrgyzstan (SDKP). After a conflict between Atambaev and his successor president Sooronbai Jeenbekov emerged and deepened in 2018, Atambayev accused of Jeenbekov in attempting to seize authority over the SDKP, a party that Atambayev himself formed in 1990s and served as a leader of. The SDK participated in the annulled 2020 parliamentary election. The current party leader is Temirlan Sultanbekov.
In the 2021 parliamentary election, the main candidate from the SDK was Almazbek's youngest son, Kadyrbek Atambaev.
