The {{lang|de|Linksjugend ['solid]}} (en: Left Youth ['solid]) is a political youth organisation in Germany. It is the official youth wing of the political party The Left. It was formed in 2007 as the legal successor to {{lang|de|['solid] – die sozialistische jugend}} (en: Solid: the socialist youth) which was the unofficial youth wing of the Left Party and its predecessor PDS. The name "solid" comes from {{lang|de|sozialistisch, links, demokratisch}} (socialist, left, democratic.)
