The General German Workers' Association (German: Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeiter-Verein, ADAV) is a German political party founded on May 23, 1863 in Leipzig, Kingdom of Saxony by Ferdinand Lassalle.

The organization exists by this name until 1875, when it combines with the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Germany (SDAP) to form the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany.

This unified organization is renamed soon thereafter the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), which presently remains in existence and dates its origins to the founding of the ADAV.

The ADAV was the first German Labour Party, formed in Prussia prior to the establishment of the German Empire. Its members were known colloquially throughout Germany as Lassalleans.
