New Galician Left (NEG, Nova Esquerda Galega in Galician language) is a Galician political organization. It was formed in 2013 with former members of the Galician Left Unity (UEG) and the entire membership of the New Socialist Left (NES), both groups integrated in Anova-Nationalist Brotherhood since its foundation. This organization, formed through the merger of the two small parties, was also joined by about twenty ex-militants of the Galician Socialist Party (PSdeG).

Currently the party is in a relationship of ongoing collaboration with organizations like Open Left (Izab), Convergence for Extremadura (CEX), Ezker Batua-Berdeak (EB-B), Compromís, Plural Space and Socialist Left Initiative (ISI) and is part of the left-wing coalition La Izquierda, that advocates the creation, for the future elections, of a left front that could break the two-party system in Spain.

Its top leaders are Óscar Álvarez Lomba and Lois Pérez Leira, that are the two spokespersons of the party.
