Inuit Ataqatigiit (Greenlandic for Community of the People) is a leftist political party in Greenland. The party was born out of the increased youth radicalism in Denmark during the 1970s. The party strives to make Greenland an independent state.

At the last elections on 15 November 2005, the party won 22,6% of the popular vote and seven out of 31 seats.

Inuit Community is represented in the Folketinget, the Danish parliament, by Kuupik Kleist. Its current president is Josef Motzfeldt, member of the Parliament of Greenland. In the Danish 2007 parliamentary elections, it received 1 out of 179 seats.
