  We study the extension of the Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV) hypothesis to
the MSSM without R-parity. The novelty of our approach lies in the observation
that supersymmetry enhances the global symmetry of the kinetic term and in the
fact that we consider as irreducible sources of the flavour symmetry breaking
all the couplings of the superpotential including the R-parity violating ones.
If R-parity violation is responsible for neutrino masses, our setup can be seen
as an extension of MFV to the lepton sector. We analyze two patterns based on
the non-abelian flavour symmetries SU(3)^4 \otimes SU(4) and SU(3)^5. In the
former case the total lepton number and the lepton flavour number are broken
together, while in the latter the lepton number can be broken independently by
an abelian spurion, so that visible effects and peculiar correlations can be
envisaged in flavour changing charged lepton decays like \ell_i \rightarrow
\ell_j \gamma.
