The Izmail Regional Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, commonly referred to as the Izmail CPU obkom, was the position of highest authority in the Izmail Oblast, in the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union. The position was created in July 1940 following the 1940 Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina during the ongoing World War II and abolished in 1954 when it was merged with the Odessa Regional Committee.

The First Secretary was a de facto appointed position usually by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine or the First Secretary of the Republic.
