The Traditionalist Conservative Party (Spanish: Partido Conservador Tradicionalista, PCT) was a right-wing political party of Chile founded in 1948 to split the Conservative Party into two factions. It participated by the coalition called National Concentration in the government of President Gabriel González Videla.

From 12 to 15 August 1950 the party held its only National Convention. On 15 December 1953 as a result of the merger with a faction of the Social Christian Conservative Party was renamed the United Conservative Party.
