The Democratic Front of the Francophones (Front Démocratique des Francophones, or FDF), is a Brussels French-speaking Belgian political party. It aims to defend and expand linguistic rights of French-speaking people in and around Brussels. It has recently affiliated with the Mouvement Réformateur, a liberal alliance party. Until 1982, the FDF dominated Brussels' municipal politics. It is led by Deputy Olivier Maingain.

The FDF advocates extension of the bilingual status of the Brussels-Capital Region to many currently officially unilingual municipalities around Brussels (in Flemish Brabant), where a minority - but in some towns a majority - of the population is nowadays French-speaking. This would expand the public services in French of all French-speakers who live in those areas, although previous agreements indicated those services would be temporarily. The FDF advocates also the dismantling of several measures motivating the French-speaking citizens of those communities to use the official language in their contacts with the administration.
