The '''German Workers' Party''' ({{langx|de|Deutsche Arbeiterpartei}}, '''DAP''') was a short-lived [[far-right]] [[political party]] established in the [[Weimar Republic]] after [[World War I]]. It only lasted from 5 January 1919 until 24 February 1920. The DAP was the precursor of the [[National Socialist German Workers' Party]] ({{langx|de|Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei|links=no}}, NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party.
