The Nepali Communist Party (Nepali: नेपाली कम्युनिष्ट पार्टी, romanized: Nēpāli kamyuniṣṭa pārṭī , NCP/NeKaPa/नेकपा) is a major communist party in Nepal. A unity conference was held on 5 November 2025, at Bhrikutimandap which declared the party's formation through a merger of ten leftist parties and groups. The merger includes the CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), Jana Samajbadi Party, Nepal Samajbadi Party, the Biplav-split CPN, CPN Samajbadi, CPN (Maoist Samajbadi), CPN (Samyabadi), and the Deshbhakta Samajbadi Morcha led by Gopal Kiranti. The unification was completed by the Party Unification Coordination Committee after a month of negotiation. The two major predecessor parties subsequently dissolved, making way for the new united party. The party adopted a star as their electoral symbol.
Upon creation, the party is the largest political party in the National Assembly and largest communist party in the provincial assemblies of Bagmati, Karnali and Sudurpashchim Provinces. Former prime minister of Nepal Pushpa Kamal Dahal serves as coordinator and Madhav Kumar Nepal serves as the joint coordinator of the party while former prime minister Jhala Nath Khanal remains on third rank.
