The Bulgarian Euro-Left (Bulgarian: Българска Евролевица, romanized: Bulgarska Evrolevitsa; BEL) is a pro-Western social-democratic[1][2] political party in Bulgaria. The party was established on 22 February 1997 in Sofia.[3][4] The party was formed by former members of the Bulgarian Socialist Party.[5][6]

The party contested the April 1997 parliamentary election as the Civil Union for the Republic – Bulgarian Euro-Left, winning 5.5% of the vote and 14 seats in the National Assembly.[4][7] Two deputies from the Bulgarian Business Bloc joined the BEL in February 1998.[4]

The BEL was admitted into the Socialist International as an observer affiliate in 1999.[8] The party was in favour of Bulgaria's accession to the European Union.[9]
