Wíṣ Zalmiyān/Weekh Zalmyan (Pashto: ويښ زلميان or Awakened Youth) was a left-wing youth movement started in 1947 in Kandahar. The movement was focused on a nationalist agenda of modernization.

The crackdown has been described as a contributing factor in the radicalisation of many leaders who later established the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan.
