The Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous Committee - General Command of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Spanish: Comité Clandestino Revolucionario Indígena - Comandancia General del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional), sometimes simplified as CCRI, is the joint command of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).

This collective leadership of the EZLN is made up of 23 commanders and 1 subcommander (Subcommandante Marcos, who acts basically as speaker). This is one of the unique characteristics of the Comité Clandestino Revolucionario Indígena or CCRI, Revolutionary Indigenous Clandestine Committee).

Most of the CCRI commanders are only know by their nom de guerre if at all.
