The summit of Ismail Samani, also known in Czech as Pik Kommunizma, called Qullai Ismoili Somoni (Tajik Қуллаи Исмоили Сомонӣ, Qulla-ji Ismóil-i Sómónî, Russian пик Исмаила Самани pik Ismaila Samani) is the highest peak in Tajikistan and the former Soviet Union at 7,495 m (the mountain was named Pik Kommunizma until 1998). It is located in the Pamir mountain range.

The peak is named after Ismáíl Sámání, a Persian emir from the Samanid dynasty. The full name can be translated as the Summit of Ismáíl Sámání.

The existence of a mountain higher than Pik Lenin was discovered by Soviet expeditions in the 1920s, and the peak was then called Пик Гармо / Pik Garmo. In 1933, the mountain was named Пик Сталина / Pik Stalina, meaning "Stalin's Peak." In 1962, during de-Stalinization, the mountain was renamed Қуллаи Коммунизм / Qullai Kommunizm, Russian Пик Коммунизма / Pik Kommunizma, meaning "Peak of Communism." It was renamed to its current name in 1998.
