The Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (Mongolian: Дотоод Монголын Ардын Хувьсгалын Нам, romanized: Dotoɣadu Mongɣol-un Arad-un Qubisqal-un Nam;[1] Chinese: 內蒙古人民革命黨) was a political party in Inner Mongolia. The party was founded by a number of politically active Inner Mongolian youth including Mersé and Serengdongrub in Kalgan in October 1925 in Zhangjiakou.[2] Mersé, who had contacts with the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and Comintern, became the general secretary of the party.[3] Others present at their inaugural meeting included Altanochir, Fumintai, and Sainbayar.[4]

The party advocated Mongolian self-determination and socialism, abolishment of feudalism and of the influence of the religious hierarchy.[5]

The party was allied to the Chinese Communist Party. It was dissolved in 1946.[6]
