The Communist Party of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Partido Comunista de Puerto Rico, PCPR) is a communist party in Puerto Rico. The party was founded in 2010, after members reformed a previous organization called "Refundación Comunista".[1]

It operates a political training school called "Escuela Vladimir Lenin", that brings proletarian political education to schools, universities, and workers' councils.[2] A similar effort, the "Escuela Manuel Francisco Rojas", was created online to reach an ever-growing group of people connected to the web and social networks. It also publishes Abayarde Rojo, a weekly periodical that is directed to tackling the reality of Puerto Rico and class struggle.
