This is a list of conventions of the Democratic Socialists of America. These conventions are the highest governing body of the Democratic Socialists of America. Conventions generally are held biennially, although special conventions are able to be called.^[1]

Convention delegates are elected from the general membership of individual chapters. Chapters are allocated a number of delegates proportional to their membership. The convention elects the leadership of the national organization, the National Political Committee, as well as setting political priorities for the following term. The National Political committee is elected via single transferrable vote. DSA conventions use the latest edition of Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised for their parliamentary procedure.^[1]
