The Free Media Movement (FMM) is a media freedom watchdog organization of journalists from Sri Lanka.

It evolved out of the standing committee of journalists, which was formed in late 1991. The standing committee was formed by a group of journalists and media personnel as a reaction to the then government of Sri Lanka introducing a Media Commission.[1]

Since then FMM has been active in all areas relating to media freedom, defending the rights of journalists and media people. It also has called for reform of legislation,[2] agitating against censorship and intimidation of media personnel and standing for broad principles of democratic and human rights.[1][3][4]

It also has developed an extensive network of links with other media freedom and human rights groups locally and internationally.[1][5]

The Sri Lankan defense ministry alleged that FMM is a controversial[6] organization. It has been accused of unprofessionalismШаблон:Citation needed and partiality.Шаблон:Citation needed
