The Hungarian Social Democratic Party (Hungarian: Magyarorszagi Szociáldemokrata Párt, MSZDP) is a political party in Hungary. Both the MSZDP and Social Democratic Party (SZDP) lay claim to the same heritage: the Social Democratic Party which was part of a governing coalition in Hungary between 1945 and 1948, and a short period in 1956, which itself was renamed from the Hungarian Social Democratic Party, previously established in December 1890. Traditional areas of support have been the industrial areas of Budapest, especially Obuda, Pesterzsébet and Angyalföld.
