Abraham Maurits "Bram" Behr (January 18, 1951 – December 8, 1982) was a Surinamese communist. He was best known as a propagandist and journalist. He published the pamphlet "De Rode Surinamer" and edited the weekly newspaper "Mokro". He also founded (June 24, 1981) and led the Hoxhaist Communist Party of Suriname (CPS) in opposition to the military dictatorship of Dési Bouterse. Behr was assassinated along with 14 other prominent Bouterse opponents on December 8, 1982, an incident known as the "Decembermoorden".
