The insurgency in Ecuador is an ongoing armed conflict, involving Armed Militant Communist Guerrilla groups against the government of Ecuador. The most prominent group is the Group of Popular Combatants, the armed wing of the Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of Ecuador, and the Communist Party of Ecuador – Red Sun (PCE-SR).
