The ICFTU Inter American Regional Organisation of Workers ({{langx|es|Organización Regional Interamericana de Trabajadores}}, ORIT) was the regional organization of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) for the Americas.

The federation was formed in 1951, and described its objective as being to work for independent, autonomous, democratic unions throughout the Americas. The ICFTU merged with the World Confederation of Labor in 2006, and in 2008, ORIT merged with the WCL's former regional organisation for the Americas, the Latin American Confederation of Workers, to form the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas.{{cite web |title=Americas: New Unified ITUC Regional Organisation Founded |url=https://www.ituc-csi.org/americas-new-unified-ituc-regional |website=International Trade Union Confederation |access-date=29 November 2019}}

As of 2005, the organization had 65 affiliated or fraternal organizations, in 29 countries, representing 50 million workers.{{cite book | year = 2005 | title =Trade Unions of the World| editor = ICTUR | editor-link = International Centre for Trade Union Rights |display-editors=etal | edition = 6th | publisher = John Harper Publishing | location = London | isbn = 0-9543811-5-7}}
