The Workers' Party (French: Parti des Travailleurs, PT) is a French socialist party. It was formed by the Trotskyist Internationalist Communist Party (PCI) led by Pierre Boussel, better known under his pseudonym Pierre Lambert, together with a number of other socialists with whom they worked in the Force Ouvrière union confederation.

Within the PT the former PCI is now known as the Internationalist Communist Current. In reality despite including communist, socialist and anarcho-syndicalist tendencies the PT is generally regarded as little more than a front for the Trotskyist PCI.

Its national secretary is Daniel Gluckstein (pseudonym: Seldjouk), who got less than 0.5% in the 2002 French presidential election.

The PT edits a magazine called Informations Ouvrières (Workers' News).
