The Party of Communists of Kyrgyzstan[a] is a communist party in Kyrgyzstan, founded on 22 June 1992. It publishes the daily newspaper Pravda Kyrgyzstana (Russian: Правда Кыргызстана, lit.

It was the largest political party in the Legislative Assembly of Kyrgyzstan between 2001 and 2005, with 15 of the 60 seats. In the 2005 parliamentary election it won 1 of the 75 seats.
