The Rwizikuru National Movement (weRwizi: Mubatanidzwa weRusununguko rweRwizikuru) is an organisation that advocated for the independence of Rwizikuru from Estmere from its establishment in 1937 until Rwizikuru's independence in 1946. Following Rwizikuru's independence, it became the opposition party of Rwizikuru, but in 1954, it succeeded the Movement for the Advancement of Bahians in Riziland as the governing party, governing the country until all political parties were abolished in 1957.

After all political parties were abolished in 1957, the RNM's structure remained intact, as it was used as a platform to help Vudzijena Nhema be re-elected as President in 1958 and 1962, even though it was unrepresented in the National Assembly. It was ultimately banned outright in 1963 following the 1963 coup d'etat.
