The Romanian Social Party (Romanian: Partidul Social Românesc, PSRO) was a centre-left political party in Romania. It was founded in March 2015 by a number of former Social Democratic (PSD) MPs led by Mircea Geoană who was expelled from the PSD earlier that year.[1] Geoană and his supporters claimed that the PSD under Victor Ponta "deviated from its left-wing identity" and supported a motion of no confidence launched by the opposition against the Ponta government (i.e. the fourth Ponta cabinet) in June 2015.[2]

In Spring 2018, the party was officially dissolved.[3]
