The Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (Leninists) was a political party in Czechoslovakia.
The group, led by Alois Muna, was expelled from the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in June 29 after they had refused to accept the new party leadership under Klement Gottwald. Muna, Alois Neurath, Václav Bolen, Václav Houser, Bohumil Jilek, Josef Skalák and František Toužil, all prominent leaders of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, were purged at a plenary of the Central Committee on June 1–2, 1929.
The parliamentary club of the 'Leninists' was formed on June 3, 1929 with 11 members of the Chamber of Deputies and 9 Senators. The group initially published Komunista ('Communist'), after which they founded the newspaper Obrana Svobody ('Defending Freedom') as their new central organ, published from Kladno.
The 'Leninist' split weakened the position of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia amongst intellectuals. The group merged into the Czechoslovak Social Democratic Workers Party on August 10, 1930.
