Communist Party (Reconstructed) (in Portuguese: Partido Comunista Português (reconstruído)), initially known as Portuguese Communist Party (Reconstructed) (Partido Comunista Português (Reconstruído)), was a political party in Portugal. PCP(R) was founded at a unitary congress in December 1975, through the fusion of the Portuguese Marxist-Leninist Communist Organization, the Portuguese Marxist-Leninist Committee and the Organization for the Reconstruction of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist).

PCP(R) held its second congress in 1977. After the break between China and Albania, PCP(R) sided with the Albanian Party of Labour. The Communist Party of Brazil had a strong influence over PCP(R).

PC(R) published Bandeira Vermelha.

The youth league of PCP(R)/PC(R) was the Revolutionary Young Communist League (UJCR).

In 1992 PC(R) was renamed Communists for Democracy and Progress (Comunistas pela Democracia e Progresso). In 1995 CDP merged into the People's Democratic Union.
