The Workers' Party (Spanish: Partido Obrero, PO) is an Argentine Trotskyist political party. It was the largest national section of the Co-ordinating Committee for the Refoundation of the Fourth International.
In the 2009 legislative election, the party received 1.1% of the vote. Its strongest vote in this and some other recent elections has been in Salta Province in the north west, particularly in the city of Salta itself; its next best was in neighbouring Catamarca.
Its members have included Jorge Altamira, Néstor Pitrola, Claudio del Plá, Amanda Martin and Mariano Ferreyra.
It participates in the Workers Left Front, which had some success in elections in 2011. Following elections in 2013 it now has two national deputies, and several provincial deputies and councilors.
