The Party of German-speaking Belgians (German: Partei der Deutschsprachigen Belgier [paʁˈtaɪ deːɐ̯ ˈdɔʏtʃˌʃpʁaːxɪɡn̩ ˈbɛlɡi̯ɐ]; PDB) was a regionalist political party active in the German-speaking Community of Belgium founded in 1971. The party was a founder member of the European Free Alliance in 1981.

The party has been accused of supporting irredentism and was involved in a scandal surrounding Hermann-Niermann-Stiftung [de] which itself had ties to far-right groups.

In 2008 the party was succeeded by ProDG.
