The Parti marxiste-léniniste du Québec or PMLQ (in English: Marxist-Leninist Party of Quebec) is a Quebec communist political party. Its orientation is Anti-Revisionist (or Stalinist). The PMLQ is the Quebec branch of the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada. It has run candidates in Quebec general elections in 1973, 1981 and since 1989 under various names: Parti communiste du Québec (marxiste-léniniste), Parti marxiste-léniniste (Québec) and Parti marxiste-léniniste du Québec.
In 2002, three leftist political parties (Rassemblement pour l'alternative progressiste, Parti de la démocratie socialiste and Parti communiste du Québec) have merged to form the Union des forces progressistes. However, the Parti marxiste-léniniste du Québec as refused to join the UFP, and ran candidates in the 2003 and 2007 Quebec elections.
The leader of the PMLQ is Claude Brunelle.
