The Revolutionary Communist Party, known as the Revolutionary Communist Tendency until 1981, was a British political organisation that existed from 1978 to 1997. It was nominally a Trotskyist communist party until 1991, when it abandoned Trotskyism and publicly switched to a libertarian position. It began with only a few dozen supporters and grew to a peak membership of 200 in the mid-1990s.
From 1988 it published the journal Living Marxism, whose writers were criticised for denying the Rwandan and Bosnian genocides.
