International relations of Catalonia include the promotion of Catalonia and its culture and scientific research, the trade and investments in Catalonia, Catalan interests abroad, the support of the Catalan diaspora and positioning Catalonia internationally as a global, responsible polity.

Although in the Spanish Constitution of 1978 the exclusive competence of international relations depends exclusively on the Government of Spain, the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia of 2006 contains and describes a series of competences for foreign actions belonging to the Government of Catalonia.

A Delegation of the Government of Catalonia abroad (Catalan: Delegació del Govern de Catalunya a l'exterior) is an office that represents the Government of Catalonia around the world. The purposes of the delegations are to represent, defend and promote the general interests of Catalonia outside of Spain. These types of entities are overseen by the Ministry of Foreign Action and European Union of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

Currently, Catalonia's Ministry for Foreign Action and Europe maintains 17 delegations, including the one before the European Union. This is the list of the current delegations of the Government of Catalonia abroad:^[1]
