Żydokomuna (Polish neologism for "Jewish communism") was a conspiracy theory supported by some anti-Semitic groups in Poland. According to them, Jewish Communists control, or want to control, the Polish government.

The term has been coined at the time of Polish-Soviet War, when the Bolsheviks were supported by a disproportionately large number of Jews. It was also used during the times of the People's Republic of Poland to refer to the secret police (Urząd Bezpieczeństwa), which also contained a disproportionately large number of Jewish personnel until the March 1968 events. Nowadays, the most popular use of this term is by the radiostation, Radio Maryja.
