The Cambridge University Labour Club (CULC), formerly known as Cambridge Universities Labour Club, is a student political society, first founded as the Cambridge University Fabian Society, intended to provide a voice for the British Labour Party at the University of Cambridge. Serving as the largest student Labour society in Britain, it has gained recognition as an active campaigning force in the labour movement. Its fellow political societies are the Cambridge University Liberal Association and the Cambridge University Conservative Association.
In recent years, the club has hosted a number of high-profile figures including former leaders Ed Miliband, Neil Kinnock and Gordon Brown, as well as former Welsh first minister, Mark Drakeford. Other speakers have included Angela Eagle, Harriet Harman, Hazel Blears, David Miliband, Margaret Hodge, Ed Balls, John Prescott, Tristram Hunt, Alan Johnson, Andy Burnham, Iain McNicol, David Lammy, Hilary Benn, Axelle Lemaire and Ken Livingstone.
