Communist Party of Nepal (United) (Nepali: नेपाल कम्यूनिष्ट पार्टी (संयुक्त)) is a political party in Nepal. It was founded in 2007, following a split in the Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist). Ghanashyam Bhusal serves as chairman while senior communist politician Chandra Dev Joshi remains the senior leader of the party.

In 2008 Nepal's first openly homosexual representative, Sunil Babu Pant was elected to the Constituent Assembly from the party list. The party crossed threshold votes to be representative in both constituent assembly elections.
