The '''Progressive Canadian Party''' ('''PC Party''') ({{langx|fr|Parti progressiste canadien}}) was a minor [[centre-right]] federal [[political party]] in [[Canada]]. It was registered with [[Elections Canada]], the government's election agency, on March 29, 2004.

Under provisions of the [[Canada Elections Act]] that took effect on May 14, 2004, parties were only required to nominate one candidate in order to qualify for [[official party status]] in the [[2004 Canadian federal election|June 28, 2004, federal election]]. This meant that Progressive Canadian Party candidates were listed on the ballot alongside the party's name, rather than being designated as [[Independent politician#Canada|independents]].

The party was deregistered by the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada on November 30, 2019, for failing to comply with [[Canada Elections Act]] requirements set out in subsection 415(1).<ref name="ElectCan2019">{{cite news |last1=Canada |first1=Elections |title=Deregistration of the Progressive Canadian Party |url=https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=med&document=oct3019&dir=pre&lang=e |access-date=November 17, 2019 |publisher=Elections Canada |date=October 30, 2019 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20191117222945/https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=med&document=oct3019&dir=pre&lang=e |archive-date=November 17, 2019 |location=Ottawa, ON |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="DemLaw01">{{cite web |title=Progressive Canadian Party to be deregistered by Elections Canada |url=http://democracylawblog.com/progressive-canadian-party-to-be-deregistered-by-elections-canada/ |website=Democracy Law Blog |access-date=November 17, 2019 |date=November 4, 2019}}</ref>
