The People's Liberation Party (Turkish: Halkın Kurtuluş Partisi, HKP) is a Marxist–Leninist communist party in Turkey. The HKP is based strongly around Hikmet Kıvılcımlı's ideas and philosophy.
The party was established on 15 June 2005, the 35th anniversary of the 15–16 June Worker Resistance.
HKP considers itself the political heir of both the Homeland Party, which was founded by Hikmet Kıvılcımlı in 1954, and the first Communist Party of Turkey, which was founded by Mustafa Suphi in 1920.
Nurullah Ankut, a retired philosophy teacher from Konya, has been the head of the party since 2005.
