The Organisation of Marxist–Leninist Communists of Greece (Greek: Οργάνωση Κομμουνιστών Μαρξιστών-Λενινιστών Ελλάδας (ΟΚΜΛΕ), OKMLE) was a minor Greek communist organisation which was established in January 1982.

The organisation merged into the Movement for a United Communist Party of Greece in 1993–composed of exiled Greek communists from the former Soviet Union and other ex-socialist countries, old EAM-ELAS soldiers and officers. Followers of Nikolaos Zachariadis who had disconnected with Communist Party of Greece (KKE) after its destalinization the period 1953-1956 have also formed the Movement for a United Communist Party of Greece, which later became the main core for the Movement for the Reorganization of the Communist Party of Greece 1918-55.

Ideologically, OKMLE upheld the political line of the Albanian Party of Labour.

The organization published a monthly newspaper called Epanastasi (Greek: Επανάσταση, 'Revolution').

OKMLE did not participate in any elections.
