The Taiwanese Communist Party (Chinese: 臺灣共產黨; Japanese: 台湾共產党) was a revolutionary organization active in Japanese-ruled Taiwan. Like the contemporary Taiwanese People's Party, its existence was short, only three years, but its politics and activities were influential in shaping Taiwan's anti-colonial enterprise.

The party was subordinate to the Japanese Communist Party but advocated Taiwan's independence from Japan.
