The Mazdoor Kisan Party (MKP; Pashto: مزدور کِسان ګوند; Urdu: مزدور کسان پارٹی; lit. "Workers and Farmers Party") is a communist party in Pakistan. It was founded on 1 May 1968 by Afzal Bangash and Sher Ali Bacha. Other prominent leaders included Ishaq Muhammad and Imtiaz Alam. In the 1970s, the MKP led a militant communist movement in Hashtnagar, Charsadda District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (then known as the North-West Frontier Province).
On 20 December 2015, the Pakistan Mazdoor Kissan Party (PMKP) and the Communist Mazdoor Kissan Party (CMKP) were merged to form the current MKP. The chairman of the MKP is Afzal Khamosh, a revolutionary leader from Charsadda District, while the Secretary-General is Taimur Rahman.
