The Azerbaijani Social Democratic Party (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Sosial Demokrat Partiyası, ASDP) was an Azerbaijani secularist and a social democratic political party led by the former President of Azerbaijan Ayaz Mutalibov.[1][2] At the elections held on 5 November 2000 and 7 January 2001, the party won less than 1% of popular vote and failed to gain seats in the parliament.

On 4 April 2023, after the adoption of the new law "On political parties" in Azerbaijan and the death of party chairman Araz Alizadeh, the party announced its dissolution.[3]
