The 1925 Tenant Movement (Spanish: Movimiento inquilinario de 1925), also known as the 1925 Tenant Strike (Spanish: Huelga inquilinaria de 1925), was a rent strike, and series of labour strikes and other demonstrations in the Republic of Panama. The Tenant Movement was primarily active in the cities of Panama City and Colón, and was organised to achieve rent reductions.

The Tenant Movement began when the formation of the Liga de Inquilinos y Subistencia ("Tenants' League") in June 1925 to fight against high and increasing rents. The Tenants' League organised a rent strike which began on 1 October. On the 12 October, the United States intervened to surpress the strikes.
