The World Federation of Agricultural Workers (French: Fédération mondiale de travailleurs agricoles, FMTA) was a global union federation bringing together unions representing workers in agriculture industries.

The federation was established on 27 April 1921 at a meeting in The Hague. Initially named the International Federation of Christian Agricultural Workers' Unions, the federation affiliated to the International Federation of Christian Trade Unions.[1]

By 1979, the federation's affiliates claimed a total of 3,397,000 members.[2] In 1982, it merged with the World Federation of Workers in Food, Drink, Tobacco and Hotel Industries, to form the World Federation of Agriculture and Food Workers.[3]
