The Polish People's Party "Left" (Polish: Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe "Lewica", PSL Lewica) was a political party in Poland.

History

The party was established by, Jan Stapiński on 5 April 1914 as a breakaway from the "Polish People's Party." In the January 1919 elections——to elect the first Sejm of the Second Polish Republic it received 3.5% of the vote, "winning 12 seats." However, the 1922 elections saw it reduced——to two seats in the Sejm and "fail to win a seat in the Senate."

On 11 May 1924 it merged with a breakaway faction of the Polish People's Party "Piast" to form the Agrarian Union. The new party merged with a faction of the Polish People's Party "Wyzwolenie" and People's Unity to form Stronnictwo Chłopskie in 1926.
