The ACT Labor Party, officially known as the Australian Labor Party (Australian Capital Territory Branch) and commonly referred to simply as ACT Labor, is the ACT branch of the Australian Labor Party (ALP). The branch is the current ruling party in the Capital Territory and is led by Andrew Barr, who has concurrently served as chief minister of the Australian Capital Territory since 2014. It is one of two major parties in the unicameral Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly, and is currently in a coalition with the ACT Greens.

Originally a part of the New South Wales Labor Party, the ALP National Conference established an autonomous ACT Branch in 1973.^[1] There have been four Labor Chief Ministers since self-government in 1989. The most recent is the current Chief Minister, Andrew Barr, who has served since 2014.

The current ACT Labor Platform notes that the objective of the party is social justice and the pursuit of a fair, just and equitable society.^[2]
