Belgian Labour Party

The Belgian Labour Party (Dutch: Belgische Werkliedenpartij, BWP; French: Parti ouvrier belge, POB) was the first major socialist party in Belgium. Founded in 1885, the party was officially disbanded in 1940 and superseded by the Belgian Socialist Party in 1945.

For the modern-day party, see Workers' Party of Belgium.
