The Popular Party for French Democracy (Parti populaire pour la démocratie française, PPDF) was a centrist-liberal party in France.
It was launched (as a successor to the Perspectives and Realities Clubs) in July 1995 by supporters of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing within the Union for French Democracy (UDF), as Hervé de Charette, Jean-Pierre Fourcade, Dominique Bussereau, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, Jean-François Mattei, Pierre Albertini, Jean-François Humbert, Françoise Hostalier and Robert Hersant.
In 1998 PPDF participated in the transformation of UDF into New UDF (from an alliance of parties to a single party), although retaining some of its autonomy and having lost some members to Liberal Democracy, including Jean-François Mattei, Jean-Pierre Raffarin and Dominique Bussereau.
In 2002 the party finally merged into the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP).
