Solidarity (French: solidaritéS) is a far-left political party in Switzerland. The party is a member of the European Anticapitalist Left.
The party was founded in 1992 in Geneva. In the 1995 federal elections it received 0.3% of the vote, failing to win a seat. Its vote share increased to 0.5% in the 1999 elections, and a party member running on a list named "Alliance of the Left (Solidarity–Independents)" won a seat in the National Council. The party retained its seat in the 2003 elections, but lost parliamentary representation following the 2007 elections, in which its vote share fell to 0.4%.
The 2011 elections saw the vote share reduced to 0.3%, and although its vote share increased to 0.5% in the 2015 elections, the party remained seatless.
