The Communist Party of Greece (Marxist-Leninist) (Greek: Kommounistiko Komma Elladas (marxistiko-leninistiko)) is a Maoist communist political party in Greece.
KKE(m-l) was founded in November 1976 by the majority of the Organisation of Marxists-Leninists of Greece (OMLE), itself a splinter group of the Communist Party of Greece since 1964. The minority became the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of Greece (ML-KKE).
Another group with the same name (abbreviated KKE-ML) was founded in November 1974 by a group known as Organization of Greek Marxists-Leninists (OEML) that split from OMLE in 1969. It split in 1975 in two factions with the same name that disappeared until 1976.
KKE(m-l) experienced a crisis in 1982 when the majority of its members left the party. This crisis was caused as a result of both international (death of Mao Zedong, the rebuilding of capitalism in China, etc.) and national events (government of PASOK, etc.).
KKE(m-l) publishes the biweekly newspaper, Proletariaki Simea (Proletarian Flag).
