The Social Christian Conservative Party ({{langx|es|Partido Conservador Social Cristiano}}, PCSC) was a centre-right political party in Chile, founded in 1949 as the Conservative Party split in two factions. For electoral purposes, one of the factions was named the Social Christian Conservative Party (the other being called the Traditionalist Conservative Party). Some of the Social Christian Conservatives later returned to form in together with the 'Traditionals' the United Conservative Party (1953), whereas others participated in the Social Christian Federation with the National Falange from 1955 to 1957. In July 1957 the Social Christian Conservative Party merged with the Chilean National Falange to form the Christian Democratic Party of Chile.
