The North Queensland Labor Party was a minor political party in Australia from 1949 to 1974.

The Party succeeded the Hermit Park Labor Party (HERM) in 1949 and was succeeded by the North Queensland Party in 1974.

It has been classified as a 'aggrieved minority' party, meaning that its primary purpose (similar to the National Party of Australia) is representation of a particular geographical grouping of people within Australia, in this case North Queensland. The Party peaked in the 1950 Queensland election attracting 7 689 votes for 8 candidates and also winning the seat of Mundingburra. The Party lost the seat at the 1956 election and only stood one candidate at each following election up to 1969.
