The Democratic Revolutionary Party^[c] was a communist party active in Xinjiang, China, from 1947 to 1948. It was formed from a merger between the Han Chinese-majority Communist League of Xinjiang and the Uyghur-majority East Turkestan Revolutionary Party. The Chinese Communist Party, after multiple meetings with the latter organisation's leader Abdulkerim Abbas, recommended the merger.^[1][2][3]

Its chairman was Abdulkerim Abbas, and its vice chairmen were Asgat Iskhakov and Li Taiyu.^[a] The party published a newspaper called Democratic News.^[b]

In July 1948, the party merged with a number of other leftist groups in Xinjiang to form the Xinjiang League for the Defense of Peace and Democracy.
