The Socialist Liberation Party (Turkish: Toplumcu Kurtuluş Partisi, 1920 TKP) is a Marxist–Leninist communist party in Turkey.
The party was founded as "Toplumcu Kurtuluş Partisi" on 7 February 2012. The party changed its name to "Türkiye Komünist Partisi" on 15 February 2002. The Constitutional Court didn't allow the renaming, because there is already the Türkiye Komünist Partisi with same name. Following that, the party started to use "Toplumcu Kurtuluş Partisi" name again and changed abbreviation from TKP 1920 to 1920 TKP.
The Socialist Liberation Party was one of the components in the United June Movement, a political coalition initiative which was founded after Gezi Park revolt.
