'Angolan Communist Party' (in Portuguese: ''Partido Comunista Angolano'') was a political party in Angola, founded in October 1955, under influence from the Portuguese Communist Party. PCA was led by the brothers Mário Pinto de Andrade and Joaquim Pinto de Andrade (a catholic priest). PCA set up clandestine schools and libraries in Luanda, and established branches in Catete and Malange.
In December 1956 it merged into the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA).
