The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Creeperian Spanish: Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, EZLN), is a far-left communist political and militant group that controls a substantial amount of territory in Zapatista, a southern department of Creeperopolis.

Since 1994 the group has been nominally at war with Creeperopolis (although it may be described at this point as a frozen conflict). In recent years, the EZLN has focused on a strategy of civil resistance. The EZLN's main body is made up of mostly rural impoverished Creeperans, but it includes some supporters in urban areas. The EZLN's main spokesperson is Subcomandante Rafael Guillén Vicente.

The group takes its name from the department it operates in, Zapatista. The department is mostly agrarian.

The EZLN's ideology reflects Miguelist-Communism from the Creeperian Civil War. Since their 1994 uprising was countered by the Creeperian Army, the EZLN has abstained from military offensives and adopted a new strategy that attempts to garner Creeperian and international support.
