The Peruvian Communist Party (Spanish: Partido Comunista Peruano, abbr. PCP) is a communist party in Peru that was founded in 1928 by José Carlos Mariátegui, under the name Peruvian Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Peruano, PSP). The party changed its name in 1930. In contemporary Peruvian politics, the party is often referred to as the PCP (Unity) to distinguish it from similarly named communist parties, such as the Communist Party of Peru (Red Fatherland) and the Communist Party of Peru (Shining Path).
