The '''Romanian Democratic Convention''' ({{langx|ro|Convenția Democrată Română or Convenția Democratică Română}}; abbreviated '''CDR''') was an electoral alliance of several [[democracy|democratic]], [[Anti-communism|anti-communist]], [[Anti-authoritarianism|anti-totalitarian]], and [[centre-right politics|centre-right]] [[List of political parties in Romania|political parties in Romania]], active from 1991 until 2000. The most prominent leaders of the CDR throughout the 1990s were by far [[Corneliu Coposu]], [[Ion Rațiu]], and [[Ion Diaconescu]], all three members of the [[Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party]] (PNȚCD) - successor and political heir to the [[National Peasants' Party]] (PNȚ), active in the [[Kingdom of Romania]] between 1926 and 1948). 

The name of the CDR was coined by [[Sergiu Cunescu]], the leader of the [[Romanian Social Democratic Party (1990–2001)|Romanian Social Democratic Party]] (PSDR), as stated in an interview during the 1990s by former [[National Liberal Party (Romania)|PNL]] re-founding president [[Radu Câmpeanu]] at ''Marius Tucă Show'' by talk show journalist [[Marius Tucă]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmpAswD0s7M |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/HmpAswD0s7M| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=Radu Câmpeanu și Niculae Cerveni invitați la Marius Tucă Show|work=Marius Tucă Show|accessdate=31 May 2021}}{{cbignore}}</ref> An additional minor leader of the Romanian Democratic Convention (CDR) was [[lawyer]] and MP [[Niculae Cerveni]] (who founded PNL-CD in 1992 and subsequently ran for president on behalf of PLDR in [[2000 Romanian general election|2000]]).
