The Salvadoran Laborist Party (Partido Laborista Salvadoreña) was a Salvadoran political party that existed until 1931.
The party was founded by Arturo Araujo. The party joined a coalition with Maximiliano Hernández Martínez's National Republican Party during the 1931 general election.[3] 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.[4]
