Som Catalans (SOM; English: "We are Catalans") is a xenophobic and independentist party,[1][2] active in the Spanish autonomous community of Catalonia and founded in 2014 by Ester Gallego and Enric Ravello, following a scission from Platform for Catalonia.[3]

The party, classified as part of the identitarian movement,[4] maintains relations with other European movements such as Vlaams Belang (Flanders, Belgium), Lega Nord (Italy), Aitheantas Éire (Ireland) and Casal Europa (Northern Catalonia, France).[3][5]

In the 2015 local elections, the party contested in Vic without obtaining any representation.[6] In the 2019 local elections, the party contested in Llagostera, Sabadell, Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Ripoll without obtaining any representation anywhere.[7][8][9][10]
