The Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (German: Marxistisch-Leninistische Partei Deutschlands, MLPD) is an antirevisionist political party in Germany without parliamentary representation. It was founded in 1982 by members of the Communist Workers Union of Germany (Kommunistischer Arbeiterbund Deutschlands; KABD).

The MLPD has traditionally defined itself as Maoist in orientation, originating from the heritage of Maoism in the 1960s student movements.It declares the political and economical changes in most of the eastern european countries after the 20th Party Congress as treason to socalism.It refers to the ideas of Karl Marx,Friedrich Engels,Lenin,Stalin and Mao.It propagates the "Dictatorship of proletariate",before socialism can develope.The MLPD has long been the largest far-left grouping in Germany.

It participates in the International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations (ICMLPO).

The MLPD's youth movement is called Rebell (Rebel).

The MLPD participated in the 2005 federal elections, generally positioning itself in campaigns as a radical alternative to the Left Party. The MLPD won 0.1 percent of the total votes cast. Its strongest showing was in the states of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, where it garnered 0.4 percent of the vote.
