'''Democratic Party of Unity''' ({{langx|cnr|Демократска странка јединства}}, ''Demokratska stranka jedinstva'', DSJ) was a minor extra-parliamentary national conservative Serbian-Montenegrin unionist political party in Montenegro.
==History== The party was founded in July 2006 by Zoran Žižić, former Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and former Deputy Prime Minister of Montenegro. Between 2006 and 2009, the party was a constituent member of the Serb List (Srpska lista) coalition.
In 2012 and from 2015 until 2017, the DSJ was a constituent member of the opposition right-wing Democratic Front (DF) alliance. The party supported the For the Future of Montenegro (ZBCG) list for the 2020 parliamentary election.<ref>[https://www.in4s.net/juskovic-dsj-cvrsto-stoji-u-df-u/ Јушковић: ДСЈ чврсто стоји у ДФ-у], in4s.net</ref>
