Catalan Patriotic Movement (Catalan: Moviment Patriòtic Català) was a Spanish nationalist political organization active in Catalonia. Although the group used the rhetoric and symbols typical of Catalanism, it was actually an anti-independence right-wing group.

The MPC was the political wing of the paramilitary group Milícia Catalana, and the MPC was involved in several bombings.[1]

Some ex-members of the MPC have joined Platform for Catalonia.[2]
