The Labor Party (Partido Laborista) was a Salvadoran political party that existed from 1930 to 1931.
The party was founded by Arturo Araujo in 1930. The party joined a coalition with Maximiliano Hernández Martínez's National Republican Party during the 1931 general election.[1] The coalition failed to win a majority but Araujo was elected president by the Legislative Assembly.
The party dissolved following the 1931 Salvadoran coup d'état when all political parties were banned.[2]
