Greek Radical Movement (Greek: Ελληνικό Ριζοσπαστικό Κίνημα) was a Greek political party founded by Antonis Tritsis on May 19, 1989.^[1] It continued to exist until April 1992.

Antonis Tritsis was a founding member of Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK). However, he was expelled by Andreas Papandreou for voting against the party regarding the PASOK's corruption in the Koskotas scandal.^[2]

In the 1989 June elections, the Greek Radical Movement party received 4,162 votes and gained 0.1%. In the European election of 1989, it garnered 0.62% of the vote.^[3]

The following year, in the local elections of 1990, Antonis Tritsis decided to run for the Municipality of Athens. He sent a letter to the leaders of all political parties and asked for their support. On October 14, 1990, Tritsis elected Mayor of Athens as the leader of a coalition between New Democracy and the Greek Radical Movement.
