The Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro (Montenegrin: Demokratska partija socijalista Crne Gore / Демократска партија социјалиста Црне Горе, DPS) is a major opposition catch-all and a populist political party in Montenegro. The party was formed on 22 June 1991 as the successor of the League of Communists of Montenegro, which had governed Montenegro within the Yugoslav federation since World War II.
Since its formation and the introduction of a multi-party system, the DPS has played a dominant role in Montenegrin politics, forming the backbone of every coalition government until 2020, when it entered the opposition in the aftermath of the 2020 parliamentary elections. This marked the first time since 1945 that the party (including its predecessor incarnation) had not been in power. The current President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović is the member of the party, including the former Prime Minister Duško Marković.
The DPS is internationally affiliated with the Socialist International and Progressive Alliance, and is an associate of the Party of European Socialists.
