The Armed Resistance Movement (ARM) was a militant anti-apartheid movement founded in South Africa circa 1962. Its members were mainly white.

ARM came into being at the time of the arrest of the major African National Congress (ANC) leadership. It succeeded in several operations of bloodless sabotage. However, an operation in Johannesburg station in July 1964 led to the death of an elderly woman from myocardial complications.

One of the ARM's operatives (John Frederick Harris, a school teacher) was subsequently arrested, convicted, sentenced to death, and executed.

Harris was a friend of Peter Hain's family, and Harris' wife, Ann, and their young son, David, went to live with the Hains in the run-up to the trial. The 15-year-old Hain delivered the eulogy at the service for Harris after his execution.
