The Workers and Peasants' Socialist Party (Parti socialiste ouvrier et paysan, PSOP) was a socialist organisation in France, formed on June 8, 1938, by Marceau Pivert. Its youth wing was the Workers and Peasants' Socialist Youth (Jeunesses Socialistes Ouvrières et Paysannes - JSOP).
Appealing to a minority dissatisfied with both the SFIO and the French Communist Party (PCF), PSOP was a revolutionary socialist party, and had between 8,000 and 10,000 members. It edited the paper Juin 36, named in memory of the 1936 general strike that caused the split between Pivert and the Popular Front government.
In 1939 a small Trotskyist faction split away from the PSOP, establishing the Trotskyist Group, now known as Workers' Struggle (Lutte Ouvrière).
The PSOP collapsed at the beginning of World War II, when it was outlawed by the Vichy regime. Most of its former members joined the French Resistance, in groups affiliated with either the SFIO or the PCF or in L'Insurgé, an independent group around Lyon.
