Rouvikonas (Rubicon, Greek: Ρουβίκωνας) is an activist anarchist collective in Athens, Greece. It was formed in 2013 amid the Greek financial crisis and has since undertaken more than 50 actions.^[2] Rouvikonas is based in the central Athenian district of Exarcheia, a neighborhood traditionally accommodating of artists, anarchists and anti-authoritarians.^[3]

Most of the group's actions have been of low significance against high-profile targets, such as throwing paint, smashing window fronts, attacking ATMs and occupying monuments of significance.^[2]^[4] Rouvikonas has at times effectively acted as a vigilante group, targeting employers and individuals accused of exploitative behavior, such as unfairly withholding wages, accepting bribes, sexual harassment, and unjust firings.^[5] Rouvikonas' actions have also included organizing of free common meals^[6]^[7] and the operation of a volunteer mobile firefighting brigade.^[8]

As of 2018, police sources estimated approximately the group had 120–150 members.^[2] Its mode of action and open membership is in contrast with previous anarchist groups that operated by use of indiscriminate violence.^[2]^[4] Rouvikonas is part of the platformist Anarchist Federation, along with other anarchist collectives of Greece.^[9]

On the 18th of May 2024 a leading member of the group was arrested (Giorgos Kalaitzidis) and charged with threatening to incite criminal activity through social media, on which he posted: "All embassies and all houses of ambassadors will be targets; all touristic areas will become places of operation".^[10]^[11]
