The Communist Bund was a Jewish political party in Soviet Russia. It was formed as the Russian Bund was split at its 12th conference in Gomel in April 1920. The Communist Bund was formed out of the leftwing majority section of the erstwhile Russian Bund (the rightwing minority formed the Social Democratic Bund).

The conference authorised the C.C. of the Bund to see to it, as an essential condition, that the Bund preserve within the R.C.P. the status of an autonomous organisation of the Jewish proletariat.

On May 6, 1920, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party (Bolchevik) discussed the question of "The Conditions for the Bund’s Admission to Membership of the R.C.P." and resolved "that Kamenay, Stalin and Preobrazhensky be authorised to receive the representatives of the Bund and hear their proposals".

On June 9, 1920, the communist faction of the Fareynikhte party merged into the Communist Bund. It was also decided that the party would merge into the Russian Communist Party (bolshevik).

At its 13th Conference in 1921 the Communist Bund decided to dissolve itself, and part of its membership joined the Russian Communist Party (bolsheviks) on the basis of the rules of admission.
