European Socialists (Georgian: ევროპელი სოციალისტები, romanized: evrop'eli sotsialist'ebi) is a political party in Georgia. The party was created on January 9, 2021, by four MPs who separated from the right-wing populist Alliance of Patriots. The party was registered in the National Agency of Public Registry on 28 January 2021.

While nominally independent of the ruling Georgian Dream, the European Socialists advanced the ruling party agenda and have been described as pro-ruling party and its proxy.[3][4][5] The party has supported the "foreign agent bill", anti-LGBT policies, and other controversial initiatives of Georgian Dream. The party was represented in the 10th convocation of Parliament of Georgia from 2021 to 2024, but it did not participate in the 2024 Georgian parliamentary election as it did not submit the required number of signatures to register for the polls.[6]
