The Union of the Working People of Lithuania or Union of Lithuanian Working People[1] (Lithuanian: Lietuvos darbo liaudies sąjunga) was the front organization set up by the Communist Party of Lithuania after the Soviet occupation of Lithuania to take part in the rigged 1940 Lithuanian parliamentary election to the so-called "People's Seimas". The organization ceased to exist as soon as the elections passed.[2]

Similar organizations were set up in the other two occupied Baltic States for the same purpose: Estonian Working People's Union and Latvian Working People's Bloc.
