Fife Socialist League

The Fife Socialist League was a left-wing political party active in Fife, Scotland in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Led by the miners activist Lawrence Daly , they contested the West Fife constituency in the 1959 general election, polling 4,886 votes, more than the total received by the candidate of the Communist Party of Great Britain (until 1955 the seat was held by the Communist MP William Gallacher).

The Fife Socialist League was a collection of left-wing activists who were attempting to challenge the Labour Party from the left. Unlike Labour they were stridently opposed to nuclear weapons.

The Fife Socialist League's activities seemed to have dwindled by the early 1960s.
