The Dictatorship Resistance Committee (Ukrainian: Комітет опору диктатурі, Russian: Комитет сопротивления диктатуре) is a political alliance in Ukraine formed by several parliamentary factions, political parties and opposition activist groups, initially founded to oppose the former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
Parliamentary members of the alliance joined the All-Ukrainian Association Fatherland (Batkivshchyna) as an umbrella coalition All-Ukrainian Association Fatherland – United Opposition in the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary elections.
The Dictatorship Resistance Committee was formed in August 2011 and came to join some other opposition alliances that were already active; most parties had joined forces one year earlier in People's Committee to Protect Ukraine.
