The Black Hat Movement was a major social and political anti-monarchy movement that occurred prior to and during the Nisser Revolution. The Black Hat Movement, founded in the late 16th century, was primarily composed of noblemen, scholars, lords, and other such secondary elites who disapproved of the Royal House of Leonhard.

The Black Hat Movement differs from the Black Hat Society and from the Black Hat Party. The Black Hat Movement was an unorganized political movement against Nikolai I mainly in the late 16th century. The Black Hat Society was an organized society of land owning elites who aided the revolutionaries in overthrowing the Nisser Monarchy. The Black Hat Party is a contemporary political party originally founded upon the principles of the Black Hat Society.
