The Dayak Unity Party (Indonesian: Partai Persatuan Dayak, abbreviated as PPD) was a political party in Indonesia. Formed to represent 'primordial' interests of the Dayak people, the party was one few political parties in Indonesia at the time which was formed along ethnic lines.[1][2] Oevaang Oeray, the first governor of West Kalimantan and one of the founders of the PPD, was a prominent leader of the party.[2][3]
