The Italian Socialist Workers' Party (Partito Socialista dei Lavoratori Italiani) was a socialist political party founded in 1947 by a splinter group of the Italian Socialist Party, due to the decision of the latter to form a joint list with the Italian Communist Party for the 1948 general election.

This split, led by Giuseppe Saragat and the sons of Giacomo Matteotti, took the name of scissione di Palazzo Barberini from the name of a palace in Rome. In 1952, the party ultimately became the Italian Democratic Socialist Party, after joining forces with the smaller United Socialist Party in 1951.
