The People's Party (Stronnictwo Ludowe, SL) was a Polish political party, active from 1931 in the Second Polish Republic. An agrarian populist party, its power base was mostly farmers and rural population.

During the
Bataliony Chłopskie, was part of the Polish resistance movement in World War II
.
After the end of the war, the People's Party under the leadership of
Polish communists named one of their proxy parties Stronnictwo Ludowe, and the old People's Party, now loyal to Mikołajczyk, changed its name into Polish People's Party
(PSL).
After Mikołajczyk's defeat in the rigged
1947 Polish legislative election, the remains of the Polish People's Party were merged (in 1949) into the communist-allied United People's Party
(ZSL).
