The Socialist People's Party (Portuguese: Partido Popular Socialista, PPS) is a political party in Brazil. It is the tenth largest party in the Brazilian National Congress, with 15 out of 513 deputies, and 1 out of 81 senators.
In 1992, the Brazilian Communist Party decided to rename itself the Socialist People's Party as part of a political realinment following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The PPS was a part of the coalition goverment of Brazilian President Luis Inácio da Silva until December of 2004, when its national executive decided to withdraw its support. Ciro Gomes of the PPS did not resign his position as Minister for National Integration, leading to his being removed from the PPS's National Executive.
The PPS has a close relationship with the Democratic Labor Party.
