The All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), also referred to as the AJSU Party, is a state political party based in Jharkhand, India. The party was founded on 22 June 1986, modelled after the All Assam Students Union. The AJSU was the brain child of Nirmal Mahto. It was conceived from the struggles of the Jharkhand separate statehood movement and portrayed a more pragmatic and aggressive approach than its predecessors – the JMM and Jharkhand Party.

Founding members of the AJSU include Nirmal Mahato, Surya Singh Besra, Prabhakar Tirkey, Deosharan Bhagat, Kamal Kishore Bhagat, Praveen Prabhakar, among others.

AJSU organized general strikes and campaigns to boycott the Lok Sabha elections in 1989. The formation of Jharkhand State is accredited to its organised and persistent demand for statehood. Today, AJSU contests elections under the leadership of Sudesh Mahto, a former deputy Chief Minister of the state.

In the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, AJSU was allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party. Ahead of the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election, 2005, AJSU broke with the BJP-led NDA and formed an alliance with Lok Janshakti Party.

Ahead of the 2014 Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election, AJSU again allied with the BJP-led NDA. As results announced, AJSU won five seats while BJP won 37 seats in the state assembly securing the majority. AJSU party president Sudesh Mahto lost from his constituency Silli after representing it for nearly 15 years.
