Socialist Party of Catalonia (in Catalan: Partit Socialista de Catalunya-Congrés) was a political party in Catalonia, Spain. PSC-C was founded in 1976 as a continuation of Socialist Convergence of Catalonia (CSC). It also unified with various sectors originating in POUM, PSUC and ERC.

Its first secretary was Joan Reventós i Carner. Amongst its other leaders were Raimon Obiols, Narcís Serra and Pasqual Maragall, the current president of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

In the General Elections of 1977 PSC-C stood on joint lists with PSOE as Socialistes de Catalunya. The lists obtained 28,2% of the votes and 15 seats.

In 1978 PSC-C merged with the Catalan Federation of PSOE and the Socialist Party of Catalonia-Regroupment, forming Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC).

PSC-C published L'Hora Socialista and Company.
