The Debating and Political Society (Welsh: Cymdeithas Ddadlau a Gwleidyddiaeth) is a debating society at Bangor University. Founded in 1849, it is the oldest debating society in Wales. The society itself became a student society in 1884 upon the establishment of the University College of North Wales. A sister society would be later established at Bangor's Normal College in 1886 in connection with the University's society.
In 2026, it received national publicity for banning Reform UK from speaking at its events. Undeb Bangor, the university's student union, distanced itself from the statement.
