The Union of Marxist-Leninist Communist Youth (French: Union des jeunesses communistes marxistes-léninistes, abbreviated UJC(ml)) was a Maoist revolutionary organization, founded on 10 December 1966 by about a hundred activists expelled from the Union of Communist Students (Union des étudiants communistes) linked to the French Communist Party (Parti communiste français).
Led notably by Robert Linhart, Benny Lévy, Tiennot Grumbach, and Jacques Broyelle, it was best established in Paris in the École Normale Supérieure and the Sorbonne. When it was dissolved on 12 June 1968 by a decree of President Charles de Gaulle, its membership formed two new organizations, the Proletarian Left (Gauche prolétarienne) and Long Live the Revolution (Vive la révolution).
