The Communist Collective of Catalonia (Catalan: Col·lectiu Comunista de Catalunya, abbreviated CCC) was a political organization in Catalonia. It was formed in 1977 as a split from the Communist Organization of Spain (Bandera Roja) (OCE(BR)). Leaders of CCC included Joan Oms, Antoni Montserrat, Maria Olivares and Consol Casals. CCC published Quaderns de Debat.
