The General German Workers' Association (German: Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeiter-Verein, ADAV) was a German political party founded on 23 May 1863 in Leipzig, Kingdom of Saxony by Ferdinand Lassalle. The organization existed under this name until 1875, when it combined with a rival organization to form the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany. This unified organization was renamed shortly thereafter the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), which remains in existence today and dates its origins to the founding of the ADAV.
