The People's Revolutionary Movement (PRM) is a South African political party founded in November 2016 by former African National Congress councillor Nhlanhla Buthelezi in the KwaZulu-Natal province, and is known for its socially conservative views (particularly on LGBT rights).

The party contested the 2019 national and provincial elections, failing to win any seats.[2][3]
