The Borotbists () were a left-nationalist political party in Ukraine that existed from 1918 to 1920. It is not to be confused with its Russian affiliated counterparts – the Ukrainian Party of Left Socialist-Revolutionaries (Borbysts) and the Ukrainian Communist Party (Ukapists).
The party's name came from the title of its weekly Borotba ( - "Fight") published by Vasyl Ellan-Blakytny. It arose in May 1918 after the split in the Ukrainian Socialist-Revolutionary Party on the basis of supporting the Soviet regime in Ukraine. The Borotbists are often associated with the Russian party of Left Socialist-Revolutionaries who in Ukraine also called themselves borotbists.
