Galician Workers Front (FOGA, Fronte Obreira Galega in Galician language) is a Galician political organization. It was formed in 2010 by militants of the trade union world, mainly of the Confederación Intersindical Galega (CIG). The organization was integrated in the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) until 2012, when the FOGA abandoned the BNG and was one of the three parties that formed Anova-Nationalist Brotherhood.

It had an MP in the Galician Parliament, Chelo Martínez, between 2012 and 2014. Its top leaders are Miguel Anxo Malvido, its national coordinator, and Tino Álvarez, the national spokesperson. in 2014 Chelo Martínez left FOGA and joined Cerna.

FOGA left Anova in 2014. Since then, FOGA has become closer to the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) again

FOGA supported Nós-Candidatura Galega in the Spanish elections of 2015. In the Spanish elections of 2016 FOGA supported the BNG again. in january 2017 FOGA rejoined the BNG.
