The Latvian Farmers' Union (Latvian: Latvijas Zemnieku savienība,[2] LZS) is an agrarian political party in Latvia.[3][4][5]

Initially formed in 1917 during the period of Latvian War of Independence, it was banned in 1934.[6] It was re-established in 1990. It is positioned in the centre on the political spectrum[3] and it has expressed conservative[7][8] and nationalistic rhetoric.[9] Since 2002, the party has been a part of the Union of Greens and Farmers (ZZS), together with the Latvian Green Party.[10] It was formerly a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.[11]
