The People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola – Labor Party (Portuguese: Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola – Partido do Trabalho) is a political party that has ruled Angola since the country's independence from Portugal in 1975.

The MPLA fights against the Portuguese army in the Angolan War of Independence of 1961-74, and defeats UNITA and the FNLA in the decolonization conflict of 1974-75 and the Angolan Civil War of 1975-2002.
