Agrarian socialism is a socioeconomic political movement which seeks to combine an agrarian way of life with socialist (or quasi-socialist) economic policies.

When compared to standard socialist systems which are generally urban/industrial (focused on centralization), internationally oriented, and progressive/liberal, many agrarian socialist movements have tended to be rural (emphasis on decentralization), locally focused, and traditional/conservative.
