The Republican–Socialist Conjunction (, CRS) was a Spanish electoral coalition created in 1909 and lasting until 1919. It was formed in the aftermath of the Tragic Week and with the Liberal takeover of power leading to the breakdown of the "Left Bloc", seeing a number of anti-monarchist parties joining into the alliance ahead of incoming elections, including Pablo Iglesias Posse's Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), Alejandro Lerroux's Radical Republican Party (PRR) and a faction within the Republican Union opposed to Nicolás Salmerón's decision to join Catalan Solidarity in 1907. It comprised different parties during its short lifespan, but it always included the PSOE and at least several republican members. It was disbanded in December 1919 after the PSOE left the alliance.
