'''Red Action''' was a British [[antifa]] and terrorist associated organisation. It founded in 1981 by activists who had been expelled from the [[Trotskyist]] [[Socialist Workers Party]] (SWP) for their involvement in squadism (violent actions against far right racist groups). It was the main organisational force behind the [[antifa]] organisation [[Anti-Fascist Action]].

''The Independent'' estimated in 1995 that it had between 20 and 30 branches with 10-15 activists in each, and the paper stated that the group "enthusiastically espouses the use of violence"; it also set out links between Red Action and the Irish republican movement, and stated that members operated primarily in large cities such as London, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow.<ref name=Seaton/>

The organisation is most infamous for the 1993 Harrods bombings which involved a leading Red Action member in collusion with the [[PIRA]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/four-hurt-by-ira-bomb-outside-harrods-1481378.html |title=Four hurt by IRA bomb outside Harrods - UK, News |publisher=The Independent |date=1993-01-29 |accessdate=2010-02-19 | location=London | first=Will | last=Bennett}}</ref><ref name="convicted">Geraghty, ''The Irish War: the hidden conflict between the IRA and British Intelligence'', 163.</ref><ref name=Seaton>{{Cite news|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/charge-of-the-new-red-brigade-1570278.html |title=Charge of the New Red Brigade |publisher=The Independent |date=29 January 1995 |accessdate=8 February 2012 | location=London | first=Matt | last=Seaton}}</ref><ref>Mickolus, ''Terrorism, 1992-1995: a chronology of events and a selectively annotated bibliography'', 282.</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/proud-ira-bombers-jailed-for-30-years-police-remain-mystified-why-two-englishmen-who-had-no-apparent-connections-with-ireland-became-terrorists-stephen-ward-reports-1435755.html|title= 'Proud' IRA bombers jailed for 30 years: Police remain mystified why two Englishmen, who had no apparent connections with Ireland, became terrorists |publisher=The Independent |date=14 May 1994 |accessdate=17 December 2010 | location=London | first= | last=}}</ref>
