The Dominican Workers' Party (Spanish: Partido de los Trabajadores Dominicanos, PTD) was a socialist political party in the Dominican Republic[1] founded in 1980.[2] At its foundation, the party also supported Maoism, but later dropped references to it. The longest-serving leader and secretary general of the party was José González Espinosa,[3] in office from the party's foundation until 2012. In the 16 May 2006 election, the party was a member of the winning Progressive Bloc.

In December 2019, the party was transformed into People's Force.

The party published a periodical, Liberación.[3]
