The Albanian Christian Democratic Party of Kosovo (Albanian: Partia Shqiptare Demokristiane e Kosovës, PSHDK) is a political party in Kosovo. It embraces Christian-democratic[1] ideals in Kosovo, although not all of its members are Catholic, as is the case in some other countries.

At the last legislative elections, 24 October 2004, the party won 1.8% of the popular vote and 2 out of 120 seats.

The president of Albanian Christian Democratic Party of Kosovo is Nikë Gjeloshi.

The Albanian Christian Democratic Party of Kosovo is a close ally of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), consequently, the first post-war minister of transport and telecommunications of the Kosovo Government was a member of PShDK. The Albanian Christian Democratic Party of Kosovo platform supports Kosovo independence and like all other Kosovo Albanian political parties does not take part in the general elections in Serbia nor any other election or referendum organized by the Serbian parliament.
