The Independent Social Democratic Action (Portuguese: Ação Social Democrata Independente) was a political party in Portugal, first founded as a parliamentary group in 1979, and then officially registered as a political party in June 1980.[1] It was founded after several members of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), among them António Sousa Franco, Joaquim Magalhães Mota, Sérvulo Correia, Guilherme d'Oliveira Martins and António Marques Mendes,[2] left the party in total disagreement with Sá Carneiro's strategy and ideological line.[3]

The party contested the 1980 legislative election with the Socialist Party, being a part of the Republican and Socialist Front, that also included the Left-wing Union for the Socialist Democracy.[4]

The party ended up being dissolved in 1985 and most of its members joined to the Socialist Party.[5]
