LENINGRAD PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE OF THE ALL-UNION COMMUNIST PARTY (BOLSHEVIK) [before 1924, it was called Petrograd Provincial Committee of the Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party (Bolshevik)- the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik)- the All-Union Communist Party (Bolshevik)] was the leading organ of the provincial organization of the Communist Party. The Committee was first elected on 6 October 1918 in the First Party Conference as Petrograd Provincial Committee of the Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party (Bolshevik). Before July 1920, the City Party Organization and the Provincial Party Organization co-existed. On 3 July 1920, the united 6th provincial and 12th all-city conferences elected the joint Provincial Committee of the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik), and the Decree On Referring to Joint Provincial Committees and City Committees as Petrograd Provincial Committee was adopted on the meeting on 12 July 1920.

With the formation of Leningrad Region in August 1927, the Provincial Committee was dissolved and the Leningrad Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolshevik) - the Communist Party of the Soviet Union became its successor. At the moment of its formation the office of the Provincial Committee was located at 48 Liteiny Avenue, later the Committee in Smolny.
