The Kuwaiti Progressive Movement (Arabic: الحركة التقدمية الكويتية) is a far-left political organization in Kuwait.^[1]^[2]^[3] It was established in 2011 after the Kuwaiti People's Union faction in the Kuwait Democratic Forum split to form the Kuwaiti Progressive Bloc.^[4]

With the increasing visibility of socialism in the 1970s following the Vietnam War, the Ethiopian Civil War, the election of Salvador Allende in Chile, and the success of other national liberation movements such as the MPLA in Angola and the NLF in South Yemen (as well as others in the prior decade), leftists in Kuwait originally had to operate secretly due to restrictions put in place by the Emir until the end of the Gulf War.
