The Cork Socialist Party was a communist party based in Cork, Republic of Ireland. It was formed by expelled members of the Irish Labour Party who had joined the party as an entryist faction. Although the candidacy of Michael O'Riordan in a 1946 bye-election received considerable support, the party never won a parliamentary seat at any level of government.
