The Socialist Labour Party (SLP) is a Socialist political party in the United Kingdom, established in 1996 following a series of meetings involving activists in the Labour and trade union movement, environmentalists and peace movement campaigners including women from Greenham Common. The SLP chose the same name as the party established by, among others, James Connolly, Arthur MacManus and Tom Bell in Scotland in 1903.
