The East Turkestan People's Revolutionary Party (Chinese: 东突厥斯坦人民革命党) was a communist party and armed separatist group in Xinjiang. It was the largest armed separatist group in the Xinjiang conflict before its dissolution in 1989.[1]

The group's goal was to establish an independent Marxist-Leninist Uyghur state in the Xinjiang region, with help from the Soviet Union. Support from the Soviets increased during the Sino-Soviet split and border dispute.[2]
