Democrats of Catalonia (Catalan: Demòcrates de Catalunya, DC) is a Christian democratic, pro-Catalan independence political party in Catalonia. Its founders are Antoni Castellà, Núria de Gispert, Rosa Maria Carrasco Azemar and Joan Rigol. The party was founded in July 2015 by former members of the Democratic Union of Catalonia (UDC) who were dissatisfied with what they saw as the party's weak support for the independence movement.[1] The new party joined the Junts pel Sí (Together for Yes) pro-independence alliance for the parliamentary elections of September 2015.

In the Spanish general election, 2015, the party was a member of the Democracy and Freedom coalition.[2]
