The 32 County Sovereignty Movement, often abbreviated to 32CSM or 32csm, is an Irish republican group that was founded by Bernadette Sands McKevitt.[4][5] It does not contest elections but acts as a pressure group, with branches or cumainn organised throughout the traditional counties of Ireland.

The 32CSM had been described as the "political wing" of the now defunct Real IRA,[5][6][7] but this was denied by both organisations.[8][9][10] The group originated in a split from Sinn Féin over the Mitchell Principles.[11][12]
