The Personalist Labor Revolutionary Party (Vietnamese: Cần lao Nhân vị Cách mạng Ðảng), often simply called the Cần Lao Party, was a Vietnamese political party, formed in the early 1950s by the President of South Vietnam Ngô Đình Diệm and his brother and adviser Ngô Đình Nhu. Based on mass-organizations and secret networks as effective instruments, the party played a considerable role in creating a political groundwork for Diệm's power and helped him to control all political activities in South Vietnam. The doctrine of the party was based on the Person Dignity Theory (Thuyết Nhân Vị).
