The Social Democratic Party of Catalonia (Catalan: Partit Social Demòcrata de Catalunya, also Partit Socialdemòcrata de Catalunya, PSDC) was a political party in Catalonia, led by Jaume Casanovas and defining itself as left liberal, that split from Democratic Left of Catalonia (EDC) in April 1976 over leadership rather than ideological disagreements. The party would join the Spanish Social Democratic Federation of Francisco Fernández Ordóñez and José Ramón Lasuén.[1][2]
