The Communist Party of Argentina (Spanish: Partido Comunista de la Argentina, abbr. PCA) is a communist party in Argentina. It is a member of the Unión por la Patria, the former ruling coalition which supported former President Alberto Fernández.^[3]

It was founded on 6 January 1918 as the International Socialist Party, after a split within the Socialist Party between those who supported and those who opposed the Russian October Revolution and the Third International. From its inception, the party maintained an alignment with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which generated friction with the rest of Argentina's left, which accused the party of struggling more for the geopolitical interests of the Soviet Union than the effective emergence of a communist revolution in Argentina.
