Kurdish Revolutionary Party (Arabic: الحزب الثوري الكردستاني) was a political party in Iraq seeking independence for the Kurdish people. Originally formed in 1964, it merged into the Kurdish Democratic Party in 1970. The party was revived by a group of anti-Barzani dissidents in the KDP leadership in 1974. The refounded Kurdish Revolutionary Party joined the National Progressive Front and supported the Kurdish autonomy law proposed by the Iraqi government.[1][2] The party was led by Abd as-Sattar Tahir Sharif,[3] who left Iraq in 1999.[4]

The party obtained two seats in the national parliament in the March 24, 1996, elections.[5]

The party held its 14th national congress on August 21, 2000.[6]
