The Conservative People's Party (Spanish: Partido Conservador Popular; PCP) is a minor[8] social conservative[6] political party in Argentina founded in 1958 by Vicente Solano Lima, who was vice president of Argentina in 1973.[2] It was founded as a split from the National Democratic Party (PDN) following the 1955 coup that ousted Juan Domingo Perón from the presidency.[9]

A historical ally of Peronism and the Justicialist Party,[10] in recent years the PCP has backed anti-peronist parties and alliances, and was one of the founding parties of the Cambiemos coalition in 2015.[11] Ahead of the 2019 general election, the PCP left Cambiemos and instead joined the newly formed NOS Front, backing the candidacy of Falklands War veteran Juan José Gómez Centurión.[6] Gómez Centurión placed fifth in the presidential race with 2.6% of the vote.[12]

It presently counts with no representation at the federal level.
