Workers' International Industrial Union
- Workers' International Industrial Union
The Workers' International Industrial Union (WIIU) was a De Leonist political international active in the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia.
The organisation was founded in Detroit in 1908 by Daniel DeLeon, as a split from the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Initially, DeLeon's group was also known as the IWW, but it renamed itself in 1915.
The group gained the affiliation of DeLeon's Socialist Labor Party (SLP) and the British Advocates of Industrial Unionism - although a small group remaining aligned to the original IWW left to form the Industrialist League - and a small section of former Wobblies in Australia which included James Arthur Dawson.

The group soon shared much of its membership with the SLP, and struggled after DeLeon's death in 1914. It was invited to attend the first conference of the Comintern in 1919, but did not affiliate. It disbanded in 1924.
