The Historic Pact for Colombia (Spanish: Pacto Histórico por Colombia; PHxC) is a political and electoral coalition in Colombia composed of political parties and social movements with ideologies ranging from the centre-left,[8][9] left-wing,[10] and far-left.[11] It is the current Government Coalition in Colombia after the 2022 presidential elections.

In September 2021 Agmeth Escaf, Luis Fernando Velasco, and Piedad Córdoba were added to the coalition.[12] The coalition's presidential nominee, Gustavo Petro, advanced to the second round and defeated Rodolfo Hernández Suárez.[13][14]
