The Labor Party (Spanish: Partido del Trabajo, pronounced [paɾˈtiðo ðel tɾaˈβaxo], PT; also known as the Workers Party) is a political party in Mexico. It was founded on 8 December 1990. The party is currently led by Alberto Anaya.

Following the 2018 election, the PT became the third-largest political party in the Chamber of Deputies with 61 deputies, after Morena with 191 and the PAN with 81. Political maneuvering briefly established the PRI as the third-largest party in August 2020, although it later turned out that the PT and the PRI were tied with 46 seats each after doubtful PRD deputy defections in favor of the PRI.[2][3][4]

It received 3.25% of the total votes cast in the 2021 legislative election,[5] becoming the seventh national political force. It had 33 deputies and 4 senators in the LXV legislature of the Congress of the Union.[6][7]
