The Fearless Movement (in Spanish: Movimiento Sin Miedo; MSM) is a defunct progressive political party in Bolivia. MSM was founded on March 1, 1999 and dissolved following the 2014 Bolivian general election.

The leader of the party, Juan del Granado, was the mayor of La Paz from 2000 to 2010. The party won mayoral elections in 2010 in both La Paz and Oruro.

MSM entered into a political alliance with the Movement for Socialism (MAS-IPSP) on September 3, 2005 in advance of the 2005 presidential election. The parties also consolidated their efforts during the 2006 election for the Constituent Assembly,[3] in support of President Evo Morales during the 2008 Bolivian recall election, and finally in a joint legislative slate in the 2009 general election.
