The Left-Councilists, also known as the Progressive Left or Democratic Councilists, is a political faction of the All-Councilist Union (UCÔ). It competes with the more orthodox councilist and less progressive Right-Councilists primarily, with the Centrist Councilists inbetween the two. The Left-Councilists hold a majority of the party's seats, and since the 1970s, have typically been the most influential UCÔ bloc.

The Left-Councilists operate as a broadchurch of progressive socialist, neo-councilist and Cougnîst members who have relatively high autonomy over decisions, particularly locally. Its policy positions typically include party democratisation, economic democracy, co-operative economics, "open diplomacy" with Euclean neighbours, anti-corruption, decentralisation of power, gender equality, transgender rights and same-sex marriage.
