The Galician Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Galego, in Galician language) was a socialist and Galician nationalist political party active in Galicia.
Founded on 23 August 1963 with the intention of forming a nationalist and social democratic party in Galiza, subsequently radicalized its positions, approaching the communist Galician People's Union (UPG).
Its secretary general between 1971 and 1977 was Xosé Manuel Beiras. The PSG presented a candidacy to the general elections of 15 June 1977, getting 27,197 votes (2.41%) in Galiza and no deputies.
In the 1980s a break occurred inside the party: one part is integrated into the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) while others joined the Galician Left, forming a new party known as the Galician Socialist Party-Galician Left (PSG-EG). Later the PSG-EG also joined the BNG.
Among its founders stand out Mario Orxajes Pita, Salvador Rei, Salvador García Bodaño, Xosé Luís Rodríguez Pardo, Cesáreo Saco, Manuel Caamaño and Ramón Piñeiro, that created the party in a clandestine meeting.
The new party attracted former members of the Partido Galeguista as Francisco Fernández del Riego, who was elected party president, Luis Viñas Cortegoso, Amado Losada, Domingo Pombo and young influenced by Ramón Piñeiro like Xosé Manuel Beiras or Ramón Lugrís.
