The Revolutionary Bolsheviks of Costa Rica (BRCR; Spanish: Bolcheviques Revolucionarios de Costa Rica) is an anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist communist party in Costa Rica, founded in 1993. It is guided by the theoretical contributions of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and Enver Hoxha. It is organized according to the principles of democratic centralism and sees Leninism as the highest development of Marxism in the current era of imperialism and proletarian revolutions. The current General Secretary and principal theorist is Rodrigo Alvarez, who co-founded the party. It publishes a monthly newspaper called La Hoz y el Martillo (The Hammer and the Sickle). It has an armed, insurgent wing: El Ejército Proletario (The Proletarian Army).

The party's stated goal is to organize workers and campesinos into a vanguard party to lead a communist revolution and establish a dictatorship of the proletariat in Costa Rica. It staunchly defends women's liberation and proletarian feminism, believing the patriarchy and capitalism to be intertwined; it also supports LGBT liberation but is critical of what it calls "rainbow capitalism". It shuns reformism and encourages abstention of elections. It is a member of the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations.

It holds the view that the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union fell to revisionism under the leadership of Nikita Khrushchev in the 1950s, considering him and Leonid Brezhnev to be "social-imperialists". It also views Enver Hoxha as the last great Marxist of the 20th century, believing him and the Party of Labour of Albania to have stayed faithful to the principles of Marxism–Leninism until Hoxha's death. It is heavily critical of other leftist and socialist currents such as anarchism, social democracy, Trotskyism and Maoism.

It disavowed Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, considering it an "aggressive, imperialist action" but also does not support NATO or the EU. It has condemned Israel's actions in the Israel–Hamas war but views Hamas as a terrorist organization. It supports Palestinian liberation and the decolonization of Israel.
