The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Spanish: Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela, PSUV, Spanish pronunciation: [peˈsuβ]; or Spanish pronunciation: [peˈsuβe]) is a socialist political party which has been the ruling party of Venezuela since 2007. It was formed from a merger of some of the political and social forces that support the Bolivarian Revolution led by President Hugo Chávez.

At the 2015 parliamentary election, PSUV lost its majority in the National Assembly for the first time since the unicameral legislature's creation in 2000 against the Democratic Unity Roundtable, winning 55 out of the National Assembly's 167 seats.^[12] In the 2020 elections however, amid a widespread opposition boycott, they won back a supermajority of the chamber.^[13]
