The Puerto Rican Communist Party (Spanish: Partido Comunista Puertorriqueño, PCP) was a communist party in Puerto Rico.

The PCP was formed in 1934 by dissident members of the Free Federation of Workers (FLT), the union arm of the Socialist Party. Its Secretary-General was Ramón Mirabal. Its membership always remained small, but it played a major role in the formation of the General Confederation of Workers (CGT) in 1940. One of primary union organizers was Juan Sáez Corales. [1] The PCP newspaper was Lucha Obrera ("Workers' Struggle"), and its motto "Pan, Tierra, y Libertad" (Bread, Land, and Freedom) was later used by the Popular Democratic Party (PPD).

In the decades following the 1940s, the PCP never gained a large base of support, in part because of the existence of other left-wing parties such as the PPD, Puerto Rican Socialist Party and the Puerto Rican Independence Party. It finally disbanded in the 1991. [2]
