Komtsukunft ({{langx|yi|קאָמצוקונפֿט}}, {{langx|pl|Komunistyczna Organizacja Młodzieży Cukunft}}) was a Jewish communist youth organization in Poland in the early 1920s. It was the youth wing of the Jewish Communist Labour Bund in Poland.

The organization was a splinter group of the Bundist Tsukunft movement.Bender, Sara. [https://books.google.com/books?id=DSkendQVMbcC The Jews of Bialystok during World War II and the Holocaust]. Waltham, Mass: Brandeis University Press, 2008. p. 25 The split occurred in late 1921, as Tskunft had withdrawn its application for membership of the Communist Youth International. Komtsukunft was founded on February 2, 1922, and had about 3,000 members.Cimek, Henryk.
