Democrats ( _no. Demokratene) is a right-wing, nationalistic political party in Norway. The party is led by Vidar Kleppe, a former member of parliament for the Progress Party. The main issues for the party are anti-immigration, law and order and reduction of taxes. The party's values are based on Christianity and Norwegian heritage.

The party has no representation in the Storting, the Norwegian legislature, though it has eight members of seven municipal councils and one representation in a county council (Vest-Agder), as of the 2003 elections.

The party stepped up its activity with the aim of gaining a foothold in the Storting at the elections of September 12, 2005. Amongst its more well-known candidates for the election were Gry Jannicke Jarlum, who briefly achieved fame in Norway in the early 1980s as a pop singer (and now goes by the name of J-Diva), and Ole Klemetsen, who gained some success in the Light heavyweight division of boxing. Despite running a high profile campaign, Demokratene failed to make any breakthrough in the 2005 parliamentary election, capturing a hugely disappointing 2,706 votes (a share of 0.1%). With the main right wing vote going to the Progress Party, Demokratene were left without a support base and so failed to win any representation.
