Communist Youth Movement (in Dutch: Communistische Jongerenbeweging) is a political youth organization in the Netherlands. CJB was founded on September 21, 2003, as an independent, though politically allied, continuation of the youth of the New Communist Party of the Netherlands, NCPN Jongeren (NCPN Youth).

It is the youth organization of the NCPN, and it publishes Voorwaarts! (Forward!) in an attempt to bring the socialist ideas to the youth as well.

Due to its short existence, its numbers are small, but the CJB is still in the process of building up. Its members are present at most demonstrations that the NCPN and other European communist youth groups participate in, as well as counter-demonstrations against demonstrations by several anti-Castro groups at the Cuban Embassy in The Hague.
