Proletarian Catalan Party (Catalan: Partit Català Proletari, 1934–1936) was a political party in Catalonia, Spain. PCP was founded in January 1934. Its main leader was Jaume Compte. PCP had its origins in the Estat Català-Partit Proletari, founded in 1932.[1]

The goal of PCP was the creation of a Catalan Socialist Republic.[2]

The party had a large influence with the trade union Centre Autonomista de Dependents de Comerç i Industria (CADCI).[1] In 1936 Peres Aznar, a PCP deputy in the Cortes, was elected president of CADCI.[3]

The party had around 500–800 members at its peak, mainly from Barcelona.[1] PCP published Catalunya Insurgent. Its youth wing was known as Joventuts del Partit Català Proletari.[2]

In 1936 PCP merged with other groups to form the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia.[1]
