Madhav Kumar Nepal(Nepali: माधव कुमार नेपाल) (born 1953) is a Nepalese politician; he is the general secretary of Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist).
He was the deputy prime minister in the Nepalese government during the CPN(UML) minority government as well as the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly. He has argued for the Nepal Civil War to be solved through talks and does not believe that mobilization of the army was the solution.
Nepal was arrested in 2001 during a crackdown on anti-government protest. Following the palace massacre he called for Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala to step down, though later joined forces with him to launch a campaign against King Gyanendra's assumption of executive powers.
