Revolutionary Marxist Workers Party (Spanish: Partido Obrero Marxista Revolucionario), was a Trotskyist political party in Peru that was founded in 1970 by a dissident fraction of Vanguardia Revolucionaria. It was led by Ricardo Napurí and Jorge Villarán. Napurí was the general secretary of POMR.[1]

Internationally, POMR was linked to the French Lutte Ouvrière group.[1]

POMR contested the 1980 general election on the lists of the Workers Revolutionary Party (PRT). Napurí was elected senator. [1]

On March 7, 1982, the majority faction of POMR merged with the Socialist Workers Party.[1]
