Free Social Democrats (Danish: Frie Socialdemokrater) was a political party in Denmark. It was founded in 1920 by Emil Marott. He had been a Member of Parliament 1903-1920 for the Social Democrats. In 1920 he had been expelled from the party because of diverging opinions on the Schleswig issue.
The Free Social Democrats contested all three Folketing elections held in 1920, but did not win representation.
