The Democratic Progressive Party (German: Demokratische Fortschrittliche Partei, DFP) was a right-wing populist political party in Austria. The party was founded in September 1965 by former ÖGB chairman and Minister of the Interior Franz Olah upon his expulsion from the Socialist Party of Austria. The party was known for its leader's antisemitic rhetoric, and received almost 150,000 votes in the 1966 legislative election, although it failed to win a seat.
