Tanzim (Arabic: التنظيم Al-Tanẓīm, "The Organization") is a militant faction of the Palestinian Fatah movement.

Led by Marwan Barghouti, who is serving life sentences for murder in Israel, it gained prominence during the Second Intifada. Tanzim operates at the community level and has significantly pulled Palestinian support from Islamist groups. It has participated in violent acts against both military and civilian targets, and some of its members have even conducted suicide bombings.
