Reagrupament or Reagrupament Independentista ({{Literal translation|Independentist Rally}}) is an association in Catalonia, Spain, formally constituted on 3 October 2009. It is an umbrella group for various supporters of Catalan independence and the creation of a sovereign state for Catalonia.[http://www.newscatalonia.com/2009/09/group-inside-cdc-defects-to.html News Catalonia: A group inside CDC defects to Reagrupament] It has no representation in the Catalan Parliament.
It was formed in July 2007 as a critical current within the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) by members who opposed the party's alliance with two other leftist, but non-independentist parties, the Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC) and the Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds (ICV). In 2009, they founded a new political platform, which was later re-organized as a political party.
Reagrupament's strategic aims are a democratic regeneration of Catalonia and the unilateral declaration of independence of the region by the Parliament of Catalonia.[http://www.newscatalonia.com/2009/10/reagrupament-will-propose-unilateral.html News Catalonia: Reagrupament will propose Unilateral Declaration of Independence][http://www.reagrupament.cat/novaweb/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=36&&Itemid=22 Reagrupament: Political Statement]
In 2010, Reagrupament negotiated an electoral alliance with the Catalan Solidarity for Independence, led by Joan Laporta. Despite a common aim - the independence of Catalonia - and a similar ideological background, the negotiations failed due to divergences in mid-term strategy and disagreements over the compilation of electoral lists.
In the 2010 parliamentary election in Catalonia, Reagrupament gained 1.28% of the vote and no seats in parliament. It had the best results in the Circumscription of Girona with 3.28%, and the worst in the Circumscription of Tarragona with 0.93%.
Reagrupament is led by Joan Carretero and Rut Carandell and its slogan is Independence and Democracy.
In the 2015 general election, the party is a member of the Democracy and Freedom coalition.{{cite web |url=http://www.elperiodico.com/es/noticias/politica/cdc-concurre-generales-nombre-democracia-i-llibertat-4649829 |title=CDC concurrirá a las generales bajo el nombre de Democràcia i Llibertat |language=es |work=El Periódico de Catalunya |date=2015-11-06 |access-date=2015-11-06}}
