The SNK European Democrats (Czech: SNK Evropští demokraté), is a small liberal conservative political party in the Czech Republic, led by Jan Kasl, former Mayor of the City of Prague and former Foreign Minister Josef Zieleniec. It is a merger of the European Democrats (Czech: Evropští demokraté) (founded in the summer of 2002 and is largest opposition party on the Prague Municipal Assembly) and the SNK Union of Independents.

In the 2004 European Parliament Election both parties (in a coalition) stood on a joint ticket which gained 11 % of the vote and elected three MEPs.

In February 2006 the non-parliamentary parties ED and "SNK Union of Independents" merged. The unified party, led by Josef Zieleniec is called "SNK European Democrats (SNK ED)". The pro-european and liberal-conservative SNK ED is represented by three deputies in the European Parliament. In the 2 and 3 June 2006 elections, the party won 2.1 % of the vote but no seats.
