Laban ng Masa (LnM, ) was a major left-wing electoral coalition of democratic socialist and progressive groups in the Philippines. It was the revival of a broad-left coalition of the same name against then-president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Being democratic socialist, LnM participated in the political processes of the state, and had opted on elections as a legitimate and viable means of achieving socialism. It opposed taking the extralegal route preferred and deemed necessary by Marxist–Leninist–Maoists. The coalition positions itself firmly against authoritarianism and elitism.
The coalition endorsed Leody de Guzman and Walden Bello in the 2022 presidential and vice-presidential elections. After the elections, some of its members formed an aboveground socialist party, the Partido Sosyalista (PS) in 2024.
