Socialist Convergence (Spanish: Convergencia Socialista, CS) is a Trotskyist organisation in Mexico.

It was founded in 1996 by the group formerly known as the Revolutionary Workers' Party, or PRT. It is a sympathizing organization of the reunified Fourth International. CS is currently working to reestablish itself as a recognized national party, and in early 2004 it became a founding member of a new electoral alliance called the Socialist Alliance.

It is registered as a National political association, meaning that it was able to gether signatures from at least 5,000 supporters and is moving towards formal registration as a political party. At the core of the organisation is a group of around 300 members.
