The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is an umbrella organization for trade unions in Nigeria, founded in December 1978. NLC was formed by four different organisations which are; the Nigeria Trade Union Congress (NTUC), Labour Unity Front (LUF), United Labour Congress (ULC) and Nigeria Workers' Council (NWC).

The NLC has been known for its conflict with the government due to some of the policies, mostly related to the hike in prices leading to the discomfort of citizens.

The National Women Commission is the national women's wing of NLC. It was created in 2003 to increase the participation of women in the affairs of the union.

Together with the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, the NLC supported Peter Obi and the Labour Party in the 2023 Nigerian general election, a party the NLC started in 2002. This is the first time the union has expressed explicit support for a political party.
