Nedaye Iranian Party (Persian: حزب ندای ایرانیان, Hezb-e Nuday-e 'Iranian, lit. 'Voice of Iranians Party'),[3] also known by the acronym NEDA (from Persian: نسل دوم اصلاحات, lit. 'Second Generation of Reforms'),[4] is a reformist and social democratic political party in Iran.[5] The party held its first congress in 2015.[6]

It was the first party that emerged after the reformist crackdown during 2009 Iranian presidential election protests, followed by the Union of Islamic Iran People Party.[3] The majority of members belong to the youth wing of the banned Islamic Iran Participation Front[7] and are in their early 30s.[3]

The party was in coalition with the Pervasive Coalition of Reformists during the 2016 Iranian legislative election.[8]
