The Committee for a Workers' International (CWI) (Spanish: Comité por una Internacional de los Trabajadores, or CIT; French: Comité pour une internationale ouvrière or CIO) was an international association of Trotskyist political parties and organisations. Today, two groups claim to be the continuation of the CWI, the refounded Committee for a Workers' International and International Socialist Alternative.
