The Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan (Dari: حزب کمونیست (مائوئیست) افغانستان, Hizb-i Komunist (Ma'uist) Afğānistān), previously known as the Communist Party of Afghanistan, is an underground communist party in Afghanistan oriented around Marxism–Leninism–Maoism (MLM). The party was founded in 2004 through the merger of five other Maoist parties.[2] It was a member of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM).

During the U.S.-led occupation of Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021, the party's stated goal was to start a people's war in order to expel foreign forces from Afghanistan, with the ultimate goal of establishing a New Democratic society and socialism in the country.[3][4] After the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces from Afghanistan and the establishment of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan by the Taliban in mid-2021, the party changed its primary goal to overthrowing the Taliban's government.[5]
