The Left Socialists (Danish: Venstresocialisterne, abbr. VS) were a Marxist and socialist political organisation in Denmark. From 1968 to 1998, it was a registered political party also known as the Left Socialist Party. It was formed from a split in the Socialist People's Party (SF).
The party saw minor electoral success before joining the Red–Green Alliance in 1989 to contest elections jointly with other socialist parties. Individual party activity diminished afterwards, culminating in the Left Socialists dissolving themselves in 2013.
