Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist) was the name used by several political parties in Bangladesh. These groups emerged at different times as splinter factions of the East Pakistan Communist Party (Marxist–Leninist). Among them, three organisations were particularly prominent: the Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist) (Barua), the Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist) (Dutta), and the Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist) (Umar), all of which remained active in Bangladesh during the post–Cold War years.
