The Jacqui Lambie Network (JLN) is a political party in Australia, formed in May 2015, bearing the name of its founder, Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie.

The party is currently supporting the Rockliff Liberal Government in confidence and supply in Tasmania, although this agreement is under review as the JLN have currently only have one elected MP. Its relevance in Tasmanian state politics is under question with the sacking of two of its three electred MPS.[3]

The JLN has maintained populist support for working class "battlers", especially welfare recipients.[4][5]

The party has two elected members. Jacqui Lambie in the Australian Senate and Andrew Jenner, in the Tasmanian House of Assembly.
