The Socialist People's Front (SPF; Lithuanian: Socialistinis liaudies frontas) is a left-wing political association (formerly a party) in Lithuania formed in December 19, 2009, from a merger of the Front Party and Lithuanian Socialist Party. Held at Vilnius University, the party's foundation featured 102 delegates. The merger was approved by an affirmative vote of 96 delegates, with three against and one abstaining. The leader of the Lithuanian Socialist Party, Giedrius Petružis, refused candidacy for chairperson of the merged party, claiming a desire to return to academic life. The leader of the Front Party, Algirdas Paleckis, was unanimously chosen as the leader of the SPF.[2]
In December 2017, the party was reorganized into a political association, as it was liquidated in 2016 for lacking the minimum required number of members for a party.[3]
In late 2018, some of the senior members and several supporters split from the party, thus forming the Socialist Party.

Vėliau ši partija buvo likviduota, tačiau nuo 2017 m. gruodžio yra pertvarkyta į asociaciją. ("The party was later liquidated, but was reorganized to a political association in December of 2017.")
