La Révolution Cosmopolite (The Cosmopolitan Revolution) or La Révolution Cosmopolite: journal révolutionnaire socialiste indépendant (The Cosmopolitan Revolution: Independent socialist revolutionary newspaper), was an anarchist newspaper published between 1886 and 1887 by various anarchist militants, including Charles Malato, Jacques Prolo, Louise Michel, and Léon Ortiz. The newspaper ceased publication after being prosecuted for "incitement to murder and pillage".
It was one of the 1880s anarchist publications in France, playing a role in the birth and establishment of the anarchist movement there. The newspaper is also considered to have introduced revolutionary internationalism to France, aiming to unite anarchists and revolutionaries on an international level. Additionally, due to Louise Michel's numerous contributions, it was one of the first publications to give a platform to women activists in France.
