Democratic Movement of Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz: Кыргызстан демократиялык кыймылы, romanized: Kyrgyzstan demokratiyalyk kyymyly) is a political party active in Kyrgyzstan. The party's Chairman is Jypar Jeksheev (Jypar Jekshe), who is also the founder of the movement. The party was founded on June 27, 1993 with Jeksheev as chairman until 2000, when he was succeeded by Edilbek Sarybaev.

In 2000, the movement joined with the supporters of the barred Ar-Namys (Dignity) Party of former Prime Minister Felix Kulov to form an electoral alliance to contest the parliamentary elections. The alliance collapsed when the Ar-Namys Party was registered.

The party's platform calls for democratic social development and formation of a politically and economically competent personality. In 2004, the movement joined the People's Movement of Kyrgyzstan electoral alliance.
