Not to be confused with the Communist Party of Portugal (Marxist–Leninist) (1974).

The Communist Party of Portugal (Marxist–Leninist) (Portuguese: Partido Comunista de Portugal (Marxista-Leninista)) was a political party in Portugal. Also known as the 'Mendes faction of PCP(M-L)'.

PCP(M-L) was founded in 1970. It published Unidade Popular.

In May 1974 Heduíno Vilar (real name Eduíno Gomes) was expelled. He set up his own PCP(m-l). Like the main PCP(M-L), Vilar's PCP(M-L) had a publication titled Unidade Popular.

In 1974 a splinter group broke away from the party, forming the Popular Unity Party.

At the time of the 1976 elections PCP(M-L) launched the slogan "For Independence, For Democracy, For Social Progress! - Vote for the lists presented by PCP(m-l)!" (Pela independência pela democracia, pelo progresso social! - vota nas listas apresentadas pelo PCP (m-l)!)
