The Donetsk Gubernatorial Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, commonly referred to as the Donetsk CPU gubkom, was a regional branch of the Communist Party of (Bolsheviks) Ukraine in Donetsk Governorate.

The Donetsk Governorate was established on 5 February 1920 out of parts of Yekaterinoslav Governorate, Kharkov Governorate, and Don Host Oblast. Due to difficult situation in the region, the governorate was governed by a local revolutionary committee (revkom). The gubernatorial committee was finally established in September 1920.
