International Communist Party (abbreviated as ICP, IntCP, or PCInt) can refer to a handful of different left communist political parties with the same name, all of which split from the original ICP lead by Amadeo Bordiga in 1952, itself a split from the Internationalist Communist Party. The name of each ICP is generally distinguished from the others by using the name of its party press, such as "International Communist Party (Partito)" to refer to the ICP which publishes the newspaper Il Partito Comunista.

The ICPs have been frequently referred to as "Bordigist" by other communists, but nearly every ICP rejects this label, as they do not see "Bordigism" as a political current that is meaningfully distinct from Marxism and Leninism.[1] The ICP generally refers to its political tradition as the "Communist Left" as opposed to "left-wing communism."
