Common Sense (Spanish: Sentido Común; SC) is a Chilean political party founded in 2022 by former militants of the Democratic Independent Regionalist Party, Christian Democratic Party and former members of the Chile Vamos coalition.[1][2] It was officially recognized by the Electoral Service of Chile (Servel) on 12 October 2023.[3]

One of the founders of the party was the lawyer Rodrigo Logan, who served as a member of the Constitutional Convention of Chile between 2021 and 2022.[1]

The party was dissolved by the Chilean Electoral Service on 17 May 2024 after detecting errors and irregularities in the constitution of its internal bodies.[4]
