The Agricultural and Labour Party (Greek: Αγροτικόν Εργατικόν Κόμμα) was a Greek political party. The party was the successor of the Democratic Union of Alexandros Papanastasiou, via its renaming.[1]

The party ran in the 1928 Greek legislative election under the name "Democratic Union-Agricultural and Labour Party". It gained 6.7%, elected 20 MPs and participated in the government of the Liberals. In the 1929 Greek Senate election, the party gained 6.6% and elected 4 MPs. In the 1932 Greek legislative election, the party lost most of its power and gained 5.9% and elected 8 MPs. In the 1933 Greek legislative election, it gained 4.2% and elected 13 MPs. Finally, in the 1936 Greek legislative election, the party participated in the Democratic Coalition, a coalition of centre-left parties, and elected 7 MPs. After the death of its leader, Alexandros Papanastasiou, the party was dissolved.
