Communist Movement (in Spanish: Movimiento Comunista, in Basque: Mugimendu Komunista, in Catalan: Moviment Comunista, in Galician: Movemento Comunista, in Asturian: Movimientu Comunista) was a political party in Spain. It was founded in 1972 as Movimiento Comunista de España (MCE).
The Communist Movement was formed by the Basque Communist Movement - Communists (Movimiento Comunista Vasco - Komunistak) (which was previously known as ETA Berri, a splinter group of ETA), Communist Organisation (Aragon), Communist Unification (Valencia), the Marxist-Leninist Formation Group of the Islands (Balearic Islands) and a grouping of independent communists from Asturias. Initially the party was known as Communist Movement of Spain (Movimiento Comunista de España). The general secretary of MCE was Eugenio del Río.
MCE attempted to unify with the Communist Unification of Spain (UCE), but that relation was later broken.
In 1976 MCE was restricted into a federal organization, and the name changed to MC. Regional affiliates included

In the 1977 general elections MC launched various electoral lists, like CUP in Madrid and CUPS in Catalonia.
