This article lists political parties in Cuba. No party is permitted to campaign or endorse candidates for election, including the Communist Party. Candidates are elected on an individual referendum basis without formal party involvement, though elected assemblies predominantly consist of members of the dominant party alongside non-affiliated candidates.

• Cuban Liberal Movement (Partido Liberal Nacional de Cuba)
• Cuban Liberal Union (Unión Liberal Cubana, member LI)
