The '''Slovak Democratic Coalition''' ({{lang-langx|sk|Slovenská demokratická koalícia}}, SDK) was an electoral platform—constituted as an instrumental political party—for the [[1998 Slovak parliamentary election|1998 parliamentary election]]. The party split in 2000, when some members rejoined their original parties, while others, led by [[Mikuláš Dzurinda]], founded the [[Slovak Democratic and Christian Union – Democratic Party|Slovak Democratic and Christian Union]] (SDKÚ).

Although Movement for a Democratic Slovakia narrowly won the parliamentary election in 1998 with 27% of the vote, it was unable to form a government coalition. Instead, the SDK, which finished second with 26.33% of the vote formed government coalition with three other parties - [[Party of the Democratic Left (Slovakia)|Party of the Democratic Left]] (SDĽ) (14.66%), [[Party of the Hungarian Coalition]] (SMK) (9.12%) and [[Party of Civic Understanding]] (SOP) (8.01%). The new government gained nickname "Government of Changes", from its election campaign, with Mikuláš Dzurinda as its prime minister.
 
The party formally ceased to exist onin August 2002, shortly before the [[2002 Slovak parliamentary election|elections in 2002]], although it started to dissolve in 2000/2001, when some of the members left the party to join the newly established [[Slovak Democratic and Christian Union]].
