The Komala Kurdistan's Organization of the Communist Party of Iran (Kurdish: کۆمەڵە ڕێکخراوی کوردستانی حیزبی کۆمۆنیستی ئێران) is an Iranian Kurdish communist party active throughout the Iran–Iraq border. The party is led by Ibrahim Alizade and works as the Kurdish branch of Communist Party of Iran.[4]

In 2009, a group of the party's cadre who identified only as socialists, left the party and established Socialist Faction of Komala.[4]
