The Norfolk Island Labor Party (pih|Norfuk Ailen Leyba Paati), also known simply as Norfolk Labor (pih|Norfuk Leyba), is the Norfolk Island branch of the Australian Labor Party (ALP). It operated as a sub-branch of the ACT Labor Party.^[3]

At the 2010 election, Labor ran four candidates, receiving 13.59% of the total vote.^{[4] [5]}

The party was last led by Mike King, who also served as Leader of the Opposition until March 2013.^{[6] [7]}

At the 2015 status referendum, the party supported the "no" vote, which was ultimately unsuccessful.^[8]

Norfolk Labor faded away sometime after 2015, having not contested the 2013 election.^{[2] [9]}
