National Democratic Front (in Spanish: Frente Democrático Nacional) was a political coalition in Peru that was founded in 1944 in Arequipa by Manuel J. Bustamante de la Fuente in order to launch the presidencial campaign of José Luis Bustamante y Rivero for the 1945 general election.
The coalition was largely conformed by the Peruvian Aprista Party (APRA), proscribed at the time to participate electorally. The party ran under the banner of the People’s Party within the coalition, alongside the Peruvian Communist Party and an array of intellectuals rallying around Bustamante.
Upon Manuel Odría’s successful coup d’état in October 1948 against Bustamante’s presidency, the coalition ceased to exist.
