The Civil Democratic Alliance (Arabic: التحالف المدني الديمقراطي, Al-Taḥalof Al-Madani Al-Democrati) is an Iraqi political coalition formed by various civil and democratic parties as well as independent figures for the 2014 Iraqi parliamentary election.{{Cite news|url=http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2014/01/iraq-electoral-alliance-liberals-weak-chances.html|title=Iraqi liberals losing ground to Islamists|agency=Al Monitor|date=31 January 2014|access-date=10 June 2014}}

The alliance split in 2017 when the Iraqi Communist Party left the alliance after reaching an agreement with the Alliance towards Reforms (Saairun) for the May-2018 election.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66rRbIVV9uE |title=لقاء رئيس تحالف تمدن فائق الشيخ علي مع سحر عباس جميل (دجلة) ٢٠١٨/٢/١٨ |date=2018-02-18 |last=فائق الشيخ علي |access-date=2025-02-21 |via=YouTube}} At 41m20s. The Civil Democratic Alliance then split into two alliances, the current consisting of mostly socialist left-wing parties who stayed part of the alliance and are led by the Social Democratic current.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUgvFv4WAOY |title=حوار{{!}} علي الرفيعي - الامين العام للتيار الاجتماعي الديمقراطي |date=2022-11-06 |last=Alsharqiya Tube |access-date=2025-02-21 |via=YouTube}}
