The Communist Party of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Komünist Partisi TKP) was a political party in Turkey. The party was founded by Mustafa Suphi in 1920 and was soon to be banned. It worked as a clandestine opposition party throughout the Cold War era and was persecuted by the various military regimes. Many intellectuals like Nazım Hikmet joined the party ranks. In 1988 the party merged into the United Communist Party of Turkey in an attempt to gain legal status.
