The Islamic Labour Party (Persian: حزب اسلامی کار, romanized: Hezb-e Eslâmi-ye Kâr) is a reformist party in Iran and splinter group to the trade union Worker House.
A supporter of Mohammad Khatami’s reform program, it is reportedly based on a platform of socially oriented programs and "protecting the rights of the workers and laborers".
The party has been described as either "Islamic left" or centrist within the Iranian political spectrum. It is also classified as associated with the "republican right" faction, which deals with a platform on modernization and economic growth rather than social justice, along with the Moderation and Development Party and the Executives of Construction Party. The latter is considered a historic ally of the party.
