The Queensland Labor Party (QLP) was a political party of Queensland, Australia formed in 1957 by a breakaway group of the then ruling Australian Labor Party Government after the expulsion of Premier Vince Gair. The party was absorbed into the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) in 1962.
Despite the existence of the QLP in Queensland's political history the term "Queensland Labor" is still used erroneously to refer to the Queensland branch of the Australian Labor Party.
