The Timorese Social Democratic Association (Template:Lang-pt; abbreviated ASDT) is a political party in East Timor.

In the parliamentary election held on 30 August 2001, the party won 7.8% of the popular vote and 6 out of 88 seats.

Both the original ASDT of the 1970s (which became Fretilin) and the current party of the same name are founded by ex-Timorese President Francisco Xavier do Amaral.^[4]

In the June 2007 parliamentary election, the ASDT formed an alliance with the Social Democratic Party (PSD), and together they won 15.73% of the vote and 11 seats.^[5]
