Christian Democratic Movement (Slovak: Kresťanskodemokratické hnutie, abbreviation KDH) is a Christian democratic center-right parliamentary political party in Slovakia, a member of the European People's Party.

It was one of the first parties formed after fall of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Formed in Nitra on February 22, 1990 by Ján Čarnogurský, a Catholic dissident lawyer, Christian Democratic Movement aimed at bringing Christian and democratic values into Slovak politics. Its program has generally remained unchanged since its creation.[1] Party's political positions can be characterized as a conservative on social issues (especially in regards to church-state relations, abortion and gay rights) and centre-right on economic issues, while remaining centrist and center-left approach to family policy (maternity benefits, marriage and housing support etc.).
