Anakpawis ("Toiling Masses") is a party-list in the Philippines. The party-list is the electoral wing of the radical trade union movement Kilusang Mayo Uno and the peasant group Kilusang Mangbubukid ng Pilipinas.

Known for its radical pro-labor and peasant stand, Anakpawis is known for its campaign for a 125 across-the-board wage increase for workers, as well as the genuine agrarian reform bill to redistribute land to landless peasants.

In the 2004 elections for the House of Representatives the party-list obtained 538,396 votes (4.2320% of the nationwide vote)[1] and two seats (Crispin B. Beltran and Rafael V. Mariano). In the May 14, 2007 election, the party won 1 seat in the nationwide party-list vote.

Anakpawis is part of the party-list group Makabayan, with the parties Bayan Muna, GABRIELA, and more.[2]
