The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement is an international Communist organization which upholds Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

Founded in 1984, the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement seeks to unite the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist parties of the world into a single political tendency. The RIM believes that the Maoist strategy known as People's war is the most effective strategy for Marxist revolution in the developing world and actively supports parties waging people's war.

The RIM publishes a theoretical journal called A World To Win.

New forces have also entered the RIM's fold in the following years, including the Communist Party of Afghanistan (Maoist).
