The Democratic Party of Trinidad and Tobago is a political party in Trinidad and Tobago without parliamentary representation. The party is led by Steve Alvarez, with Wayne Rodriguez as its chairman. It was formed in 2001. The party symbol for the DPTT is the hummingbird feeding on a hibiscus flower. The motto of the party is The way forward for Trinidad and Tobago. It is the first party that introduced a vision statement, rather than the traditional manifesto.

In the 2002 General Elections, there were 10 candidates contesting for seats, as the party was only launched as an official political party 6 months prior to the General Elections. They were unsuccessful in obtaining any seats. On 9 March 2006, the party officially launched the start of its campaign for the elections constitutionally due in 2007. On 9 July 2007, the United National Congress announced it enter the elections as an alliance force with the smaller political parties including the DPTT. The Democratic Party of Trinidad & Tobago constantly shares its vision for improving the lives of the citizens of Trinidad & Tobago through the writings of its Political Leader Steve Alvarez.
