The People's Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central People's Government was the supreme military authority of the People's Republic of China from 1 October 1949 to 27 September 1954. Mao Zedong, the chairman of the Central People's Government, concurrently served as the chairman of the commission.

When the People's Revolutionary Military Commission existed, there was no separate supreme military leadership organ of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This differs from the later situation where the Central Military Commission of the CCP and the National Defense Commission coexisted, and still later, the Central Military Commission of the CCP and the State Central Military Commission coexisted.
