The Industrial Labor Party or Heffron Labor Party was a short-lived but influential political party active in New South Wales between 1938 and 1939. It was a splinter group of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and was formed by Bob Heffron after he and Carlo Lazzarini attempted to depose the party leader Jack Lang (who had been Premier of New South Wales 1925-27 and again 1930-32). Both Heffron and Lazzarini subsequently lost their party endorsements for the 1938 election.
