Islamic Nations Party or Party of Islamic Nations ({{langx|fa|حزب ملل اسلامی|Ḥezb-e melal-e eslāmi}}) was an Islamic leftist armed group with clandestine system{{cite book|author=Marvin Zonis|title=Political Elite of Iran|year=2015|publisher=Princeton University Press|isbn=9781400868803|page=115}} short-lived during 1960s. It was initially a secret society active against Pahlavi dynasty in late 1950s. It consisted of middle-class youth, mostly highschool teachers and university students.

The organization was reportedly involved in 1963 events and 1965 assassination of Hassan Ali Mansur.{{cite book|author=Mehrzad Boroujerdi|title=Iranian Intellectuals and the West: The Tormented Triumph of Nativism|year=1996|publisher=Syracuse University Press|isbn=978-0-8156-0433-4|pages=83–84}} However, it is alleged that opening fire on Police before arrest of leading members was its "sole standoff".

After a visit to Iraq, leader Mousavi-Bojnourdi brought two firearms for the planned bank robbery and kidnapping. A rank-and-file member was arrested accidentally and led security forces to a 140-men list of the members. A cache of arms belonging to the party was also discovered in the hills of north Tehran.

55 members of the group were arrested in 1965 and received long-term confinements in 1966 by military tribunal. Four members were executed and death sentence of the leader Mousavi-Bojnourdi reduced to life in prison.

A number of Revolutionary Guards commanders including Javad Mansouri, Abbas Zamani and Abbas Duzduzani were members of the group.{{cite book|title=Iran's Revolutionary Guard: The Threat That Grows While America Sleeps|pages=18, 22–23|publisher=Potomac Books, Inc|year=2012|author1=Steven O'Hern|isbn=978-1597977012}}
