Earlier known as the West Bengal Trinamool Congress, (WBTC), was a political party in West Bengal, India, led by Mamta Banerjee. Founded in 1998, it consisted largely of defectors from the (then) electorally unsuccessful Indian National Congress in Bengal.

In the Lok Sabha elections in 1999 AITC got 2.6% of votes and eight seats, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) retaining control of most of the remaining seats in the State Assembly. However the Trinamool Congress managed to win control of Calcutta in municipal elections in 2000, only to lose it again to the CPI (M) in June 2005.

Ahead of the 2004 Lok Sabha elections AITC merged with P.A. Sangma's break-away fraction of the Nationalist Congress Party. The new party is called Nationalist Trinamool Congress.
