The Communist Workers Organisation (CWO) is a British left communist group and an affiliate of the Internationalist Communist Tendency, formerly the International Bureau for the Revolutionary Party.

It publishes a quarterly magazine, Revolutionary Perspectives and distributes an agitational broadsheet Aurora.

The group was founded in the mid-1970s with the union of Workers Voice, based in Liverpool, and Revolutionary Perspectives, a group based in the North of england and Scotland some of whose members had previously been active in Solidarity.

Both groups were influenced by German left communism and in particular the KAPD.

Both published articles on the German Revolution. Revolutionary Perspectives also translated Otto Ruhle's "From the Bourgeois to the Proletarian Revolution" into English.

By 1975 the two groups coalesced broadly around the positions of the KAPD's "Essen Tendency".

Both groups had also taken part in international conferences sponsored by the French group Revolution Internationale with the British group World Revolution.
