The 13th Parliament of Catalonia, after 4 June 2021 known as the 14th Parliament of Catalonia,^[1][2] is the current meeting of the Parliament of Catalonia, with the membership determined by the results of the regional election held on 14 February 2021. The congress met for the first time on 12 March 2021. According to the Statute of Autonomy the maximum legislative term of the congress is 4 years from the preceding election.

It is the thirteenth meeting of the Parliament of Catalonia since the falling of Franco's regime, however, during this session the numbering was changed in order to consider as the first meeting the one from the regional parliament established as a result of the 1932 Statue of Autonomy, whose duration was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. Effectively, that meant that officially the 13th Parliament is skipped, as the decision didn't alter the numbering of the previous meetings.^[1][2]
