旗帜派，是阿富汗人民民主党1967年分裂出的派系，和党内另一派人民派政见不合，派系首脑是巴布拉克·卡尔迈勒。这派在苏联入侵阿富汗后受苏联扶植掌握大权。

旗帜派的基本思想是因阿富汗没有发生产业革命，没有真正的无产阶级去从事革命，因此应逐步实现社会主义。

因为他们不同意人民派的急进改革路线，因此在阿富汗中产阶级中有更大民意基础。

在1992年，他们把阿富汗人民民主党改组为阿富汗祖国党。

Parcham (Persian:پرچم‎‎, meaning "Banner" or "Flag") was the name of one of the factions of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan. The Parcham faction seized power in the country after toppling Hafizullah Amin.

The basic ideology of the Parchamis was one of a gradual move towards socialism in Afghanistan. The Parcham faction supported this idea because they felt that Afghanistan was not industrialized enough to undergo a true proletarian revolution called for in the Communist Manifesto. The Parcham faction had more urban based members who belonged to the middle and upper middle classes. Opposed to the more moderate Parchamis were the radical Khalq faction. The Khalq (meaning "People") developed a more vigorous line, advocating an immediate and violent overthrow of the government and an establishment of a Soviet-style communist regime.
