Agreement of the Catalans[2] (Catalan: Entesa dels Catalans) was a Catalan electoral alliance formed by the Socialist Party of Catalonia–Congress (PSC–C), the Catalan Socialist Federation (FSC), the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC) and the Left of Catalonia platform—supported by the still-illegal Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC), Party of Labour of Catalonia (PTC) and Catalan State (EC)—to contest the 1977 Spanish Senate election.[3] Securing 12 out of the 16 Catalan senators at stake, the alliance's performance has been considered a historical success.[4]

The alliance broke up on 15 January 1979, shortly before the 1979 general election.[1][5]
