Sudanese Communist Party – Revolutionary Leadership
Founded 1965
Split from Sudanese Communist Party
Ideology Communism

Sudanese Communist Party – Revolutionary Leadership (Arabic: الحزب الشيوعي السوداني - القيادة الثورية) was a communist party in Sudan. It emerged as a pro-Chinese split, after internal division inside the Sudanese Communist Party during late 1964 and early 1965.[1] The split in the Sudanese Communist Party was provoked by the Sino-Soviet split. Some of the founders of the new party had been expelled from the Sudanese Communist Party after accusing the party general secretary for misappropriation of funds provided by the Soviet embassy. Others had left voluntarily.[2]

In the mid-1980s, the party joined the Progressive National Front.[3]
