The Fluminense Republican Party (Portuguese: Partido Republicano Fluminense, PRF) was a Brazilian political party founded in 1888 during the final days of the Brazilian Empire, to represent the republican ideals of the agrarian elite of Rio de Janeiro.
After the Proclamation of the Republic in 1889, it became a principal political organization in the newly established state - Rio de Janeiro. Throughout the First Brazilian Republic, it competed for control of the state government as part of the system of state based parties that dominated Brazilian politics from 1889 - 1930. Like other state parties of that period, the PRF depended on local political bosses and electoral network to sustain its influence. Internal conflicts periodically split the party into rival factions, especially over its relationship with the federal government and its support for successive presidential administrations.
