The Democracy International (TDI) is a not-for-profit non-governmental organisation founded in 1979 in New York. It brought together democratic opponents of both right- and left-wing dictatorships from Asia and Latin America and from across the Soviet bloc.

TDI seeks to motivate individuals in practical action on behalf of common commitments to human rights, freedom of speech, press and religion, free elections and the right to contest elections. Its main goal is to promote democratic and human rights values by supporting the efforts of democratic leaders and movements worldwide to build open societies.
