The Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (Mongolian: Dotoγadu Mongγol-un Arad-un Qubisqal-un Nam[1]) 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. Mersé, who had contacts with the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and Comintern, became the general secretary of the party.[2] Others present at their inaugural meeting included Altanochir, Fumintai, and Sainbayar.[3]

The party advocated Mongolian self-determination and socialism, abolishment of feudalism and of the influence of the religious hierarchy.[4]

The party was allied to the Communist Party of China. It was dissolved in 1946.[5]
