The Burkinabè Communist Group (French: Groupe Communiste Burkinabè, GCB) was a communist party in Burkina Faso. The GCB surged as a split from the Voltaic Revolutionary Communist Party in 1983, following the refusal of PCRV to support the revolutionary government of Thomas Sankara.

In 1986 the GCB signed a declaration, together with the Reconstructed Communist Struggle Union, Union of Burkinabè Communists and Revolutionary Military Organization, calling for revolutionary unity.

In 1989 the GCB left the government, following its refusal to join ODP/MT. The GCB turned clandestine. In April 1989 it split in two factions, one led by Salif Diallo joined the ODP/MT. The other, led by Jean-Marc Palm became the Movement for Socialist Democracy (MDS) in March 1991.
