All For Latvia! (Latvian: Visu Latvijai!) was a nationalist and far-right political party in Latvia, led by Raivis Dzintars and Imants Parādnieks. Formed in 2000, it entered a right-wing nationalist coalition in 2010, and ultimately merged with the For Fatherland and Freedom Party in 2011 to form the National Alliance.

All For Latvia! started as a political youth organization in 2000.

After a ban on symbols similar to the Nazi swastika or the Soviet hammer and sickle in 2003, members of the organization protested outside Latvian parliament with ethnographic symbols bearing reversed versions of the swastika associated with the Nazi regime. All For Latvia! leader Dzintars Raivis defended the protest, arguing that "the swastika is by no means something Hitler thought of."

The organization became a political party in January 2006, running in 2006 elections. It won 1.48% of vote and no seats in the parliament. Following the election in 2006, All For Latvia! organized remembrance processions honoring war dead of the Latvian Legion who fought against Communist Soviet Union on the side of Nazi Germany during World War II.

For the 2010 elections for the Saeima, All for Latvia! joined forces in the National Alliance with the more established national conservative party For Fatherland and Freedom/LNNK to field a common list of candidates. At the election, the list won eight seats, six of them for All for Latvia!. Deputy Visvaldis Lacis, representing the party and a former member of Latvian Legion, was elected chairman of the parliamentary committee of the Latvian government responsible for dealing with the Russian minority.
