The Communist Party of the Soviet Union[c] (CPSU) is the founding and sole-legal party of the Soviet Union. The Soviet constitution gives the CPSU a monopoly on all political and state power. Soviet press often refer to the CPSU as simply "the Party" (партия). As of 2023, the CPSU has more than 37 million members, which makes it among the largest political parties by membership in the world.

The CPSU was founded as the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) in 1903. Under the leadership of Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, the Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian Provisional Government in October 1917 and established the first communist state in history. It reorganized itself first as the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and then as the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) after the union of the soviet republics, becoming the sole ruling party in the Soviet Union.

The CPSU is a Marxist-Leninist communist party organised on the basis of democratic centralism. The highest institution of the CPSU is the Party Congress, which convenes every five years and elects the Central Committee. The Central Committee oversees party affairs between party congresses and elects the Politburo and Secretariat, and appoints the General Secretary, the highest party office. It considers itself the "party of the entire people", has disavowed class conflict, and emphasizes Soviet patriotism. The CPSU participates in the annual International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Party.
