The Clement Payne Movement (CPM), is a Barbados based political party named in honor of a man who led a 1937 uprising in Barbados. The Clement Payne Movement is generally seen by most Barbadians as more leftist in ideology when compared to either the more moderate BLP or DLP.

The CPM also seeks the global advancement of Pan-Africanism, and has a strong base in this area located in Barbados. The president of the party is David A. Comissiong and the general secretary is Bobby Clarke.

In the past, on several occasions the leaders of the CPM have publicly appealed to other Caribbean governments not to officially recognize the 2004 US-imposed interim government in Haiti. The party also officially opposes the process known as the Free Trade Area of the Americas .

The CPM is named as Clement Payne, a pioneer in the Caribbean trade union movement. Clement Payne is officially recognized as a "national hero". CPM annually distributes a "Clement Payne Hero’s Award".

The CPM maintains close contacts with the Communist Party of Cuba, and supports normalised relations with the Republic of Cuba.
