The Center for Social and Labor Rights is a Russian non-governmental non-profit organization that promotes respect and protection of social and labor rights. The organization was founded in 1999. Among the goals of the Center are legal support of labor relations, education on labor rights and its protection, organization of public discussions, conferences and other events on the issues of labor relations, as well as trade union training and consulting.

In March 2016, the Center for Social and Labor Rights was included in the list of organizations that perform the functions of a "foreign agent" by the Ministry of Justice. Eventually, the center successfully appealed the Ministry's decision and was removed from the list.
