The Broad Front for Democracy (Spanish: Frente Amplio por la Democracia) is a Panamanian political party originally founded in 2013.

At the 2014 Panamanian general election, the candidate's party was Genaro López for the Presidency. At the legislative election, the party had 1.0% votes and no seats.

The party dissolved in 2014, was re-founded in 2018 and dissolved again in 2019.

The party attempted to reconstitute a third time starting in 2020–2021, gathering signatures over several years. On 24 August 2025, it held a national convention formally re-establishing itself as a party, electing economist and 2024 independent presidential candidate Maribel Gordón as its president. On 17 October 2025, Panama's Electoral Tribunal issued Resolution No. 11, officially recognizing the FAD as a legally constituted political party.[1][2] with the goal of contesting the 2029 general election.
