The Maurist Party (Spanish: Partido Maurista, PM), initially known as the Maurist Conservatives (Spanish: Conservadores Mauristas, CM) or simply the Maurists (Spanish: Mauristas), was originally a political faction within the Liberal Conservative Party, led by Antonio Maura, which split from the party in 1913 after Eduardo Dato's election as Conservative leader. A loose association of Maura's supporters at first, in 1918 it officially became a political party of its own.
The party lost relevance after Miguel Primo de Rivera's coup in 1923 and Maura's death in 1925, eventually being transformed into the Constitutional Centre in 1930.
