Relationship anarchy (sometimes abbreviated RA) is the application of anarchist principles to intimate relationships. Its values include autonomy, anti-hierarchical practices, lack of state control, anti-normativity, and community interdependence.[1] RA is explicitly anti-mononormative and is commonly, but not always, non-monogamous.[2] This is distinct from polyamory, solo poly, swinging, and other forms of “dating”, which may include structures such as amatonormativity, de facto hierarchy of intimate relationships, and autonomy-limiting rules.[3] It has also been interpreted as a new paradigm in which closeness and autonomy are no longer considered dilemmas within a relationship.[2][4]

Workshops at OpenCon 2010 discussed relationship anarchy,[7] and the Open University professor Dr. discussed it in a 2013 presentation.[8] In the , since 2016, different aspects of relationship anarchy have been studied.[9][10] In March 2020, the first book dedicated monographically to RA was published, so far only in Spanish: "Anarquía Relacional. La revolución desde los vínculos".[11]
