The Labour Party (Dutch: Partij van de Arbeid PvdA) is a major social-democratic political party in the Netherlands.

The PvdA was a coalition member in the fourth Balkenende cabinet following 22 February 2007. On 20 February 2010 the party withdrew from the government after arguments over the Dutch role in Afghanistan leading to the 2010 Dutch General Election.
