Socialist Refoundation Party (tr|Sosyalist Yeniden Kuruluş Partisi, SYKP) is a Marxist–Leninist and socialist feminist political party in Turkey. It was founded on 24 June 2013 as a merger of far-left factions Social Freedom Party Initiative, Workers' Socialist Party, Socialist Future Party Initiative, and the Movement for Socialist Unity.[3] Latter, Social Freedom Party Initiative broke away from the SYKP foundation process and later evolved into Social Freedom Party. Party has a tri-coloured star as its logo, red representing socialism, purple for feminism and green for environment.

The party is one of the participants in the People's Democratic Congress (HDK), a political initiative instrumental in founding the Peoples' Democratic Party in 2012.[4]
