The Socialist Unionist Party (Arabic: حزب الوحدويين الاشتراكيين Al-Wahdawiyyun Al-Ishtirakiyyun) was a Nasserist political party in Syria. The party was founded in 1962 through a split in the Ba'ath Party. During the Ba'athist era, it was part of the National Progressive Front of legally permitted parties that supported socialism and Arab nationalism. The party's leader was Fayiz Ismail. Abdullah Sallum Abdullah, a member of this party, ran for president in the 2021 election.[1]
Following the fall of Ba'athist Syria, the party along with the National Progressive Front (NPF), of which it was a member, was dissolved by the Syrian transitional government on 29 January 2025.[2]
