The Leader of the Labour Party is the most senior politician within the Labour Party (Dutch: Partij van de Arbeid, PvdA) in the Netherlands.

The leaders outwardly act as the 'figurehead' and the main representative of the party. Within the party, they must ensure political consensus. At election time the leader is always the lead candidate of the party list. Outside election time the leader can serve as the Leader of the Opposition. In the Labour Party the party leader is often the parliamentary leader in the House of Representatives. Some leaders became a minister in the cabinet.
