Oriental Revolutionary Movement (in Spanish: Movimiento Revolucionario Oriental) is a left-wing political movement in Uruguay. The organization is led by Ariel Collazo. MRO was founded on April 21, 1961, following a split from the Partido Blanco.
From 1967 to 1985 it had an armed wing, Oriental Revolutionary Armed Forces (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias Orientales).
In 1971 MRO was one of the founding organizations of Frente Amplio. It left Frente Amplio in 1993.
The youth wing of MRO is Guevarist Youth (Juventud Guevarista). It has organized a mass front, the Revolutionary Front for a Socialist Alternative (Frente Revolucionario por una Alternativa Socialista). MRO publishes Los Orientales.
