Democratic Indira Congress (Karunakaran) (DIC(K)) was a political party in Kerala, India. DIC(K) was founded at a meeting in Thrissur by the K. Karunakuran faction of the Indian National Congress on 1 May 2005. The DIC(K) is now defunct. Initially, it was called the National Congress (Indira), but its name was changed to DIC(K) for the purpose of registration in August 2005.

The late Karunakuran's son K. Muraleedharan was the first party president. Later, Karunakaran and Muraleedharan, along with some other party members, moved to the Nationalist Congress Party. After a brief while, Karunakaran and K Muraleedharan returned to the Indian National Congress party.
