The Syrian Social Nationalist Party in Lebanon (SSNP-L)[b] is a Syrian nationalist party operating in Lebanon. The Lebanese section of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party advocates subsuming Lebanon into a Greater Syrian nation state spanning the Fertile Crescent.[19]

Founded in Beirut in 1932 as a national liberation organization hostile to French colonialism, the party played a significant role in Lebanese politics and was involved in attempted coup d'etats in 1949 and 1961 following which it was thoroughly repressed. It was active in the Lebanese Civil War, particularly in clashes with the right-wing Lebanese Front, resistance against the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and in the South Lebanon conflict from 1985 to 2000 while also continuously supporting the Syrian occupation in Lebanon.
