The Christian Social Party (German: Christlich–soziale Partei, CSP) was a right-wing political party in the German Empire founded in 1878 by Adolf Stoecker as the Christian Social Workers' Party (German: Christlichsoziale Arbeiterpartei, CSPA).

The party combined a strong Christian-right programme with progressive ideas on labour and tried to provide an alternative for disillusioned Social Democrat voters.[1]

Part of the Berlin movement, it increasingly focused on the Jewish question with a distinct antisemitic attitude.
