National Democracy (Czech: Národní demokracie, short ND) is a national conservative and eurosceptic political party in the Czech Republic. The party was founded in 1994 as "Law and Justice – Yes to traditional family, No to corruption and criminality" (Czech: Právo a Spravedlnost – ANO tradiční rodině, NE korupci a kriminalitě) or simply the "Law and Justice", inspired by Polish party Prawo i Sprawiedliwość.

On 11 January 2014, the party transformed into "No To Brussels – National Democracy", to bruit continuity with first Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia, Karel Kramář, and his Czechoslovak National Democracy.

For the 2019 European Parliament election the party announced a united list with the Party of Common Sense.

In April 2019 the party signed a cooperation agreement with the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia.
