The Labour-Farmer Party (労働農民党, Rōdōnōmintō) was a political party in the Empire of Japan. It represented the left-wing sector of the legal proletarian movement at the time.[2] Oyama Ikuo was the chairman of the party.[3][4] At the time the party was banned by the government in 1928, it was estimated to have around 90,000 members in 131 local organizations.[5] The party was supported by the Hyōgikai trade union federation and the Japan Peasant Union.[6][7]
