The Egyptian Socialist Party (Arabic: الحزب الاشتراكي المصري) was the first socialist party in Egyptian history. Founded in 1921, the party included both Marxist, Anarchist and Reformist elements. It renamed itself to the Egyptian Communist Party in 1922 after joining the Comintern. It was forced underground following a government crackdown in 1924.
